BOOKS . . . HOW STELLA GOT HER GROOVE BACK: Fresh from the mega-success of 'Waiting to Exhale,' Terry McMillian is bragging that she got a $6 million advance for her new novel. Unfortunately, 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back' is a silly wish-fulfillment fantasy that barely qualifies as beach literature, says TIME's John Skow.

Although they have known each other for years, theirs is not a "personal friendship.") Of course, this being Washington, Edna may become godmother...
...Senate forgoes the folksy approach. Ethics counsel Victor Baird answers each inquiry--what about Stella Staffer's social life?--with a citation: "That comes under Rule 35, Section C, and Interpretive Ruling No. 439," advises Baird. This allows nondisclosure "of gifts of an intimate nature," or where disclosure "would be embarrassing." Like that lingerie Moe Member sent...
