...serve as the planet's inter-terrestrial INS agents, regulating the movements of some 1500 aliens sojourning on Earth, concentrated mainly in NYC and mostly in human disguise. (Watch for the quick shot of monitored aliens-whom-you-always-suscpected-were-aliens: I believe I spied Sylvester Stallone and Newt Gingrich, among others.) Indeed, the movie gets off to a fine start with Jones ferreting out the "real" alien from a crew of Mexicans illegally crossing the border...

"We are going to do everything we can to get the bill signed," he says. But a concession to Clinton on, say, capital gains could cost Newt conservative support. And getting a good deal from Clinton is never easy. "If [Republicans] think Lucy's going to keep the football on the ground, that's fine," says an aide to minority leader Dick Gephardt. "They'll be on their backs in the grass...
