...Neill, who last year joined Pope John Paul II, Bill Clinton, Jean Chretien, George Soros, Jesse Helms and Colin Powell on Bono's all-star chat list. "I thought he was just some pop star who wanted to use me." After their scheduled half-hour session went 90 min., O'Neill changed his mind. "He's a serious person. He cares deeply about these issues, and you know what? He knows a lot about them...
...Destined to be a video-store perennial, Robert Trachtenberg?s 85-min. bio-doc, narrated by Stanley Tucci, does a nice job of Gene-splicing: inter-cutting Kelly movie clips with comments from an unusually wide range of friends and savants. The friends (wife Betsy Blair, daughter Kerry, director Stanley Donen, actress Debbie Reynolds) are neither fawning nor vengeful. The experts (biographers Clive Hirschhorn and Stephen Silverman, critics Elvis Mitchell and Jeanine Basinger) are helpful, precise and affectionate. It turns out that even Peter Wollen, the most serious film theoretician in the English language - Lacan?s brain encased in Beckett...

Several weeks later, the energy task force chaired by Cheney issued its report, which opposed reregulation and the principle of price caps...
Montillet, who has won only one World Cup race - and that in super-G - flew down the Wildflower course in a time of 1 min. 39.56 sec. to beat Italy's Isolde Kostner and the pre-race favorite, Renate Götschl from Austria. Götschl gracefully described Montillet as "one of the best skiers in the world." "I am very happy for her," she said. "She is a good girl." Montillet's success against two skiers who had proved themselves in international competition with nine world and World Cup championships between them was all the more surprising, since...
