...maybe not. For when Meredith Johnson (Demi Moore) charges Tom Sanders (Michael Douglas) with harassment after he rejects her advances and then risks his future at DigiCom, the software company where they're jostling for position, by leveling the same charge at her, their case starts to become more singular than paradigmatic. For it develops that she has something more than a desktop (or should one say laptop?) frolic in mind when she invites him up to her office for an after-hours meeting. In essence, she's trying to turn him into a corporate fall...

When asked about the CNN segment, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak made the improbable statement that he thought the practice had disappeared...
...more interesting of the two parts, and I compliment Sollscher for his consistently sensitive playing. Shaham is right at home in the genre, and considering his knuckle-busting recording of Wieniawski's first violin concerto, the works are but child's play for such a player gifted with a singular virtuoso technique. To his credit, Shaham avoids adding excessive schmaltz, and concentrates on making solid music with the material...
