When his mother moved to Hot Springs, she seldom attended church. But the young Clinton was often seen walking to Park Place Baptist Church alone, dressed up in his Sunday clothes and carrying his leatherbound Bible. "I can remember thinking, 'Isn't that neat that Bill is going. He must take it more seriously than we do.' My mother was having to drag us there," recalls Patty Howe Criner, a friend...

And Brian Martin's Tess provides a colorful parody of New Jersey chic, which leaves an indelible (indewibo) impression (impweson) upon the unsuspecting critic (cwidduck). In fact, most of the female leads display a refinement of drag seldom witnessed beyond the confines of Manhattan and San Francisco. They work it and they work it good. At times its just good, but usually it's so completely awful it's great Seldom has kitsch been given such lively treatment...
