When it comes to press relations, the polished Clinton might seem to have a natural advantage over the mercurial mayor, but Giuliani deals with New York reporters every day, albeit icily; Hillary deals with them not at all. "The New York media being what they are," says Bill Cunningham, who ran Moynihan's last campaign, "they would be looking for new ways to bring up old questions." How would Hillary hold up under scrutiny into Filegate, Travelgate, Whitewater, her commodities trades, to say nothing of inquiries about her marriage? On recent p.r.-friendly trips, she has frozen up when reporters...
...least, the strategy has had mixed results. And Albright has seen her once golden image dim. Places like Baghdad and Belgrade seem every bit as tumultuous today as when she took office. Congress is wary of her promises that U.S. troops--some 4,000 will be part of the NATO force--will be in Kosovo no more than three years. And negotiations in places like Israel are frozen. It is hard to pin the blame for those stumbles on Albright--these are, after all, centuries-old conflicts. But her tenure has been dominated by the irritations of what aides call...
Shalit won't confirm the virgin part, saying only that she's "inexperienced." And that's exactly the problem with the book: for every statement that seems knowing, there are three that seem naive or exaggerated.

And though she properly skewers those who ridicule women who say no, her modesty...
...attach the kneetop to your PC and swap files; or synchronize your kneetop to your desktop's calendar, spreadsheet and e-mail; or copy files to a floppy disc. Because there are no moving parts like a hard drive (everything is stored in RAM and ROM chips), the batteries seem to stay charged forever; the Pro goes for eight hours straight, and the Tripad for 12. Best of all, there's no boot-up: push a button, and the machine goes on or off instantly...
...desperations that pile on any frazzled working mom; but the tone is wearying, and the film looks peaked, ratty, as if it had been up all night in a bad mood. Perez, a born beguiler, has little chance to charm, let alone relax; even the actress's dimples seem like worry lines. By the end, she and the movie have become so exasperating that they both deserve to be sent to bed without supper...
