...DIED. STANLEY KRAMER, 87, celebrated Hollywood film director and producer whose credits included the classics High Noon and The Wild One; in Los Angeles. One of the first producers to work outside the studio system, Kramer burst onto the scene in the early 1950s with a series of spectacularly successful low-budget movies. A liberal in the politically cautious Hollywood of the 1950s and '60s, he often tackled then-controversial subjects such as racism and the nuclear arms race. His 35 films were nominated for a total of 85 Oscars, winning...
...Clinton's former Commerce Secretary denounces him and Morgan Stanley apologizes to its clients for paying him to speak, Clinton isn't the only one being damaged. His wife's Senate debut has been spoiled by the calls that are flooding her makeshift work space in the basement of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. Hillary last week went to three Brooklyn churches to talk about racial profiling--and ended up answering questions about whether she had properly reported the glittery handbags she'd received...

He could have pocketed a lot more if he had just packaged himself somewhat differently. Bill Clinton Live at the Apollo could gross 10 times that with an extended run, not to mention the take he would get when HBO pieced together a one-hour special. It squeezed half an hour out of Margaret Cho material...
...many ways the destruction of the Israeli left was the real story of the election. At the Dan Hotel in Tel Aviv, Barak's U.S. campaign consultants, Robert Shrum and Stanley Greenberg, monitored exit polls throughout election day. By 9 p.m., the dimensions of Barak's loss were clear. Campaign managers Tal Silberstein and Moshe Gaon came to Greenberg's hotel room overlooking the Mediterranean. "Ehud's going to resign," Silberstein said...
