...celebrity worship, they simultaneously exploit that very failing--an insatiable desire to read about the movie business. For I'm Losing You, Wagner has indeed rounded up the usual suspects: nihilistic agents, pornographers, washed-up producers, depraved plastic surgeons. And they are indeed doing the usual things: having soulless sex, taking drugs, using each other. Nevertheless, Wagner has written a novel of disciplined excess, with beautifully concentrated prose and a sometimes heartbreaking polyphony of voices...
...John Travolta undergoes a mysterious hoisting of his IQ and psychic powers. The season has already been a sweltering one for blockbusters: Twister has earned more than $215 million at the U.S. box office, Mission Impossible more than $160 million.

During the interminable budget brouhaha, Republicans in Congress and on the campaign trail have often come across as soulless CPAS at an actuarial seminar, talking of CBO figures versus OMB numbers, more concerned with monetary matters than morality. "The budget battle," says conservative guru Bill Kristol, "played into the two great Republican vulnerabilities: that we are the party of the rich and the meanspirited." While Republicans donned their green eyeshades, the Great Empathizer in the White House cornered the compassion market. The President's constant refrain that "we should balance the budget...
