...incorrect brute, a role that Gibson has played onscreen and off throughout his career. A few years back, he got trounced by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation after a particularly nasty comment to a reporter about homosexual sex. He has been public and unapologetic about his strict Roman Catholic views on divorce and abortion. Despite a handful of soft and serious performances, Gibson is for all practical purposes an action hero, to be forever associated with "Mad Max" and the swaggering, gun-slinging cop Martin Riggs of his four "Lethal Weapon" movies...

There were many of them, these enemies--half the country, at various times. But they--we--lost and Clinton won, so completely and unexpectedly that even now it boggles the mind. Like captive barbarians paraded in a Roman triumph, the vanquished Republican champions pass before us: the hapless Bush the Elder, checking his watch during a debate and fading into the Kennebunkport twilight; the brilliant Gingrich, undone by Clinton's charm and his own erratic temperament; the caustic, unhappy Dole, grimacing as Clinton sailed past his floundering campaign and into a second term.
