...chief of staff and trigger-happy troubleshooter. Lawrence Harris (Kevin Cooney), the New England Senator who runs against Stanton until being felled by a heart attack, could be the physically frail Paul Tsongas. Cashmere McLeod (Gia Carides) stands in for Gennifer Flowers. And Fred Picker (Larry Hagman), the white knight who comes out of retirement to threaten Stanton's front-runner status, is a kinder, less kooky, more kinky H. Ross Perot...
...album goes, mixing Frank Zappa into a black sheep cover of Frederick Knight's northern soul lament, "Lonely," taking a cool, excited, but never tense reigns over the popular arrangements and sound bites of Western culture. On "Marbles," Kermit's soft spoken rap pulls a danceable pulse out of the rambling cowboy melody that eventually surrenders to a rousing disco-esque horn section. Only the fifth track, "Rubber Band," goes too far. Where the rest of Stupid, Stupid, Stupid makes a cheerfully boisterous rewiring of the listener's head, "Rubber Band" pummels it with a crow...
...Clinton is like King Arthur; she holds the fort while her knight errant goes looking for grails and girls. She is much more than that, of course--a tough and good-hearted woman--as he is much more than a longing boy.

The hard part comes when one imagines Mrs. Clinton's knight, alone and in full and useless armor, looking...
Even more than hard work, luck or an agreeable mom, FUBU's success was due to a strategy straight from Phil Knight's playbook: it got the ubiquitous LL Cool J to sign an endorsement deal. The trick to hip-hop-fashion money, even more than offering slick styles, is somehow to get a rapper--preferably one on heavy rotation on MTV--to wear your stuff. Dr. Dre is dipped in Karl Kani, Mase gets giggy in Mecca, and Busta Rhymes is decked in Ecko. "Videos are hands down the best advertising you can have," says Mike Clark, the chief...
...attention and sympathy. Other films would use Simon as a wheel in the plot, but As Good As It Gets is sensible enough to create complete portraits of all its major characters. Cuba Gooding Jr. is amusing in a smaller role as Simon's art dealer, and Shirley Knight gives an understated performance as Carol's mother, who wants nothing more than to see her happy. She offers the sage piece of advice that "a normal boyfriend" simply doesn't exist...
