...Henry V and little of the rowdy dazzle of Dead Again. He also misuses some wonderful actors, including his wife, Emma Thompson; she must put her radiance on hold to play a prematurely old maid who wants Peter to "fill me with your babies." Though the plot is a rehash of The Big Chill, you may ultimately begin wishing Peter's Friends were instead a remake of Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians. Which one of these egregious twits, you ask hopefully, will be the first to be killed...
Despite being widely hailed as a first (if late) expression of the President's vision for America in the 21st century, Bush's Detroit address was little more than a gussied-up rehash of old ideas. One of the few new notions was his call to slash by 5% the pay of career government workers earning more than $75,000 a year. (The White House won't say whether the boss would gut his own $200,000 salary.)

He could have made millions with the tabloid rehash in his popular weeklies, the trash book and the movie and television rights. But without him to patch together such a deal, the ripples from his final fall threatened to sink some of the media empire he had built...
Totenberg's role in breaking the Anita Hill story has made her the target of Thomas sympathizers. Last week the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, whose parent company published the National Observer, ran a lengthy piece on the hearings, including a rehash of Totenberg's dismissal for plagiarism 20 years ago, as well as her charge that she was sexually harassed at the paper. Why did the Journal go into all that? Observers noted that the Journal had editorially championed Thomas and attacked Totenberg for her role in the Hill leaks; what's more, the paper had been...
