...come is always risky. But of one outcome we can be reasonably certain. The first thing future textbooks will say about Bill Clinton is that he is the only elected President ever to be impeached. (Andrew Johnson was not elected. Richard Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment.) This simple, singular fact will overpower other things for which Clinton might take credit: half a dozen years of unexampled prosperity; a balanced budget; a capture of the political middle from the Republicans; and persistent efforts to stop the killing in Northern Ireland, the Middle East, Bosnia and Kosovo...

I was confounded. I had always believed that there was something cosmically singular about one's life partner.

Her liquid eyes, perfect complexion and high cheekbones give her a look so defined and unique that the camera constantly finds new angles to show off her singular beauty. Unfortunately, Forlani seems a graduate of the Brad Pitt School of Acting. Her role, as written, might as well be Oscar bait--a young, intelligent woman who has found the love of her life must now come to terms with both the loss of this love and her own father to the same force. But Forlani refuses to dig deep. Her performance is strangely...
