Some experts on murder say the term serial killer, which usually describes someone who returns to a normal routine between bursts of rage, doesn't quite fit Andrew Cunanan. They've been rolling out "spree killer." It's more appropriate for somebody on a full-time lethal tear, acting sometimes with sadistic fury, sometimes with a quick and cold-blooded bullet to the head. A theory gaining currency in the FBI is that Cunanan has been carrying out a crazed vendetta, aiming to settle scores with people he knew, that he has moved purposefully on a cross-country trek toward...

Since the American President conspired with his Russian counterpart to abduct the general, there is a certain loopy plausibility to the premise. And since their leader, Korshunov, is played by Gary Oldman, an actor who can go from purring self-pity to coldly homicidal rage in about 10 frames of film, these terrorists are truly terrifying--especially when the psychopath in chief has a gun to the head of the First Lady (Wendy Crewson) or the First Child (Liesel Matthews...

...President was understandably silent about all this, but his surrogates treated the news like a hanging curve ball. "A salacious witch-hunt," cried former White House counsels Abner Mikva and Jack Quinn, demanding that Starr either abandon this avenue of inquiry or resign. Pumped with rage and delight, adviser James Carville recited a litany of Whitewater inquiries: "The RTC report, the FDIC report, the Gonzales hearings, the Leach hearings, the D'Amato hearings, the Fiske special prosecutorship, the Starr special prosecutorship--and you know where we are?

...Grocery, Dueker Chiropractic. In this tidy community of Moose lodges and brick churches, even the gas stations are nicely landscaped. But look closer, and gambling seems to have sneaked in everywhere--and not just because the riverboat casino of East St. Louis is docked 14 miles away. The gambling rage has also come through the video-poker machines in the local taverns, bowling alleys and American Legion halls. Under Illinois law these establishments may install an innocuous version of the machines--one that allows the player to have the fun of winning but that can't actually...
