...Kennedy but just in the movies, you are also fair game--although the stars tend to fight back. George Clooney urged a boycott of Paramount Pictures TV shows because of their use of video paparazzi footage of him and his girlfriend. Alec Baldwin scuffled with a photographer who confronted his wife Kim Basinger and their newborn daughter as they came home from the hospital. Robert De Niro, Will Smith and Woody Harrelson have all fought with the shooters...

Perhaps he could not match Horowitz's brilliance or Rubinstein's panache, but showmanship was never paramount to him. "I don't consider the public," he told TIME.

The way Israel sees it, if Arafat can't rein in militants on Palestinian territory, its troops are more than willing to do it for him. And while Palestinian officials blast that threat as paramount to a "declaration of war," the wobbly Arafat government is no shape to put up much of a fight. Outraged by Hamas violence as well as flamboyant corruption in high places, Palestinian legislators demanded Thursday that Arafat's entire 18-member Cabinet resign, while commentators around the world hounded the Palestinian...
