...those incidents were just a few of the stories circulating last week about the all-Starr team, suggesting that someone, perhaps allied with Clinton, had hired a private investigator to excavate the dirt on the independent counsel. A top Washington sleuth who may be looking into Starr's camp or its possible connections with Clinton's enemies is Terry Lenzner of Investigative Group International, who worked for the Democratic National Committee last year. In a brief interview, Lenzner denied that he was probing Starr, but before TIME could ask if he was investigating Starr's lieutenants he said...

In a way, the film is a high-minded remake of Pacino's Heat: he's the sleuth chasing down a charismatic killer. It's also naive, wildly self-indulgent and weirdly mesmerizing. While Pacino wrangles the text with such fellow seekers as Alec Baldwin and Winona Ryder, you get a clearer feel for the star than for the author. You come looking for Richard and find...
