...Both PVRs and video-on-demand allow for that personal touch. Would you like to see Penélope Cruz or Gérard Depardieu? Do you prefer dramas or comedies?

...have been trying to shake the idea that they are too slight for the jobs they seek. Both hope that attacking their opponents' character will propel them to victory. And both have stumbled into autumn. Lazio has been criticized by Republicans for a soft, lackadaisical campaign--more a lope than a run. He took a four-day vacation just as the race was heating up, had little to say about policy until recently, and favored short, almost content-free events; behind the scenes, he raised so much money that he now has more cash on hand than Clinton.
