...current situation and therefore we will not consider them," Schröder promised voters on July 26. A parliamentary inquiry only requires the support of 25% of the members of the Bundestag, so the investigation seems certain to go forward. The Social Democrats said they would demand a parallel investigation of election promises made by Schröder's defeated opponent, Edmund Stoiber. Social Democratic operatives desperately hope the negative mood will dissipate before February, when state elections will be held in Lower Saxony and Hesse. If the Social Democrats lose Lower Saxony, it could make passage of legislation even...
Analyze That has the potential to be, like its predecessor, another great movie, but may also fall into the trap of being too much like it. It does, however, seem to give its characters greater depth, as revealed to the audience through the parallel between Vitti’s change in identity and Sobel’s search for his own in the face of his father’s death.

That's why it was so disappointing to discover that...

Though a baby boomer, Bush rejects the instant-gratification ethic embraced by Clinton, the nation's first baby boomer President. Bush went from party-hearty frat boy to hard liquor--drinking Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (until he shaped up in his 40s) without stopping to dabble in the counterculture or go anywhere in a VW bus. He often laments not being one of the Greatest Generation he so admires (although he was no more up front about not going to Vietnam than...
