...there was little doubt about where Roosevelt stood. In his last major speech of the campaign, before a teeming crowd in Madison Square Garden, FDR "called the roll" of those who had stood with him and those who had sought to stifle his "bold, persistent experimentation." He spoke out against the "enemies of peace--business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering...
...deluded if you think that calling me and other Peninsula staffers "reactionaries" will somehow make our position illegitimate. This great nation was founded by wise reactionaries like James Madison, who wrote the Constitution to protect us against innovative power-mongers and their diseased ideologies, which in our century have led other nations down the road to gas chambers and prison camps. You are wrong if you think that publishing my name and House affiliation will scare me into silence; I am proud to be a patriot and a conservative, and have never made a secret of my political beliefs...

...read only the current grosses is to see Hollywood with blinkers. Last year there were a handful of strong female roles in popular films, not just Waiting to Exhale but less reductive fare: Pocahontas, Dangerous Minds, While You Were Sleeping, The Bridges of Madison County, Waiting to Exhale, Clueless, The Net, Sense and Sensibility. First Wives is in the generous spirit of those films. It takes a subject whose painfulness might not automatically attract middle-aged females ("Now playing at a theater near you: your husband left you for a younger woman!") and cannily repackages it as cathartic comedy...
...cares if she's not Her Royal Highness anymore, just so long as she's Her Royal Hereness? PRINCESS DIANA was greeted warmly by a mixture of Madison Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue types on her first major international engagement since the royal divorce, an eating, dancing and shopping spree that raised money for breast-cancer research in Washington. Diana, who called the disease "a great dark enemy stalking women," charmed everyone from diva designer Isaac Mizrahi, who said,"Charles really blew it when he dumped her," to solid soldier Colin Powell, who, after scoring the first dance, opined...
