Hall lives in Annandale, Va., with her stepfather and mother, who has worked as an NSC secretary for 16 years.

Like why in hell was Angel Heart -- a detective story about secret loves and profane pacts -- ever considered worthy of an X by the movie industry's rating board...
Flanked by bunting, two marching bands, a full choir, 2,800 flag-waving supporters, his mother, his photogenic wife Jane, his three children and many of the local and national politicians who have endorsed him, Gephardt became the first Democrat to declare his candidacy for the 1988 presidential race. Invoking the legacy of Harry Truman, the Show Me State's last occupant of the Oval Office, Gephardt said last week, "I'm not doing this because I want an office but because I want to change this country. I want this country to be great again...
