...setup or hallucination. Those who credited the story separated into two camps: 1) those who don't think it matters much (a man's sex life is his business; a President's conduct of the office is the only legitimate concern, and anyway, maybe it is good macho sociobiology for a leader to chase girls); and 2) those enraged by the irresponsibility and arrogance implicit in such behavior--if it happened...
...When I got there, it was a big male macho place. I tried to make The Crimson more comfortable and inclusive," says Dorman, who, in 1987, became the first female president in eight years...
Catholics in the province had been bracing for attacks ever since the Dec. 27 murder of Billy Wright, leader of the Loyalist Volunteer Force (L.V.F.), a fringe paramilitary group that is staunchly opposed to the interparty peace talks under way in Belfast.

And, according to Richmond, Clooney can get away with the monotony because "there is something reassuring about George's unspectacular but classic character in an age when the screen is increasingly peopled by young guys...who haven't lived--not really lived--more than a day and a half their whole lives and are therefore about as inherently interesting as garden slugs." Which means, to take...
