...salacious witch-hunt," cried former White House counsels Abner Mikva and Jack Quinn, demanding that Starr either abandon this avenue of inquiry or resign. Pumped with rage and delight, adviser James Carville recited a litany of Whitewater inquiries: "The RTC report, the FDIC report, the Gonzales hearings, the Leach hearings, the D'Amato hearings, the Fiske special prosecutorship, the Starr special prosecutorship--and you know where we are? Into some troopers trying to talk to some women. [The investigation] is in the ditch because that's where it started...
...salary, bonus and free rides at Space Mountain. Counting the options, his 1996 compensation comes to $204 million. While Disney stockholders have done well under Eisner's long reign, Eisner himself has done even better.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Support for Newt Gingrich continued to weaken Monday as House Banking Committee Chairman James Leach said that Gingrich should step down as Speaker.

The scenes with Leach and Brawley, filled with snappy retorts and romantic tensions, are especially entertaining. The rest of the cast members fill their niches well, with Anna Lewis and Vanessa Reisen giving standout performances in smaller roles...
...when Valmont and Mertueil's scheme starts to wreak havoc in their own lives. Valmont is torn between La Presidente de Tourvel, whom he claims to have fallen in love with, and La Marquise de Mertueil, who holds considerable power over him. The sense of unspoken attachment between Leach and Brawley is perhaps too good, because this turn of events does not seem believable. There is a fatal swordfight between Valmont and Le Chevalier Danceny that continues for too long, stretching out the play's final scenes when they should be compressed to make the downfall of Valmont and Mertueil...
