"It's just astounding and obnoxious," claimed an attorney for nearby homeowners. Both sides will argue the case...
...Clinton may have endorsed such gritty films as ?Sling Blade? and ?Dead Man Walking,? but Bush has different tastes. A clue? His favorite book and TV movie of all time is ?Lonesome Dove.? Consequently we will no longer see White House events attended by a procession of faces - Streisand, Spielberg, Cruise and Hanks - familiar from ?Entertainment Tonight...
