BILL CLINTON Lame-duck prez loses test-ban vote. But issue could nuke G.O.P.--and W.--next year...
...ninny complain about feeling "imprisoned," the "corruption" in Hollywood, or their "exhausting publicity schedule," I'll start muting my television every time an interview comes on. If a celebrity is going to whine, let him or her take action. Real action. Because phony, see-through action, you see, is lame.

I promise you, they will be very...

Seeing as I am not the first to allude to The Brady Bunch in a story that was not about TV, I sensed this was just another lame cover for the attraction people feel for me after seeing my picture on TIME's Contributors page. But just in case, I went out to breakfast with him in L.A., and he spent the morning telling me how great I was and how he wanted to be part...
