...main achievement during this hot run of his. Since his first smash, the 2003 Elf (still his highest grosser), he has kept busy and lucky: building a succession of hits, dabbling in the higher-IQ type of comedy (Stranger Than Fiction), cameoing in his friends' films, occasionally lending his luster to indies nobody sees. One of these, Winter Passing, grossed all of $101,228. But that's just pro bono work; these small flops don't taint him. The films Ferrell has starred in have grossed $876,885,086 at the North American box office. It'd be a stretch...
...Front Runners Lacking Luster I encourage Joe Klein [March 5] to talk to some Republican voters outside the Beltway.

...Front Runners Lacking Luster Joe Klein could not have been more wrong in stating "Most voters don't care if Hillary Clinton says 'I was wrong' about Iraq" [March 5]. After six years of Bush's refusal to admit having made a mistake, all voters, not just Democrats, understand that such a refusal is clear evidence of a lack of integrity. We the people will not elect another person who lacks the integrity to admit a mistake. Jules P. Kirsch, New York City...
