...Admittedly, you might have more fun at The Valet, a deft, daft, totally unbelievable yet somehow totally engaging comedy, in which a rich guy (Daniel Auteuil) tries to fool his wife into believing that his drop-dead, supermodel mistress (Elena Simonsen) is really in love with Fran&ecedil;ois (Gad Elmaleh) a not too smart parking boy at a posh restaurant. It's totally preposterous, but everyone is really rather reasonable, patient and lovable in an idiotic situation. Tales like this used to be known as boulevard comedies and, you have to say, Paris has the boulevards to sustain them...

I personally was ordered to change performance evaluations of several attorneys under my supervision. I was told to include critical comments about those whose recommendations ran counter to the political will of the Administration...

...Rich has been particularly critical of Bradley Schlozman, who was chief of the division until March 2006, alleging that Schlozman tried to suppress minority voting in Missouri by filing indictments of activists who were registering voters. Justice points out that two of those indicted have since pleaded guilty. Schlozman, who did not reply to requests for comment, has been called to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee May 15. Justice insists it has vigorously enforced civil rights laws. Spokesman Dean Boyd said evaluations of department personnel have long involved "the input of both career management and political appointees...
