...movies can manage to make Sean Connery look stupid. Highlander came close, but he came out of that one with some semblance of dignity. Combine Connery's charisma with an exotic setting like the Amazon rain forest, throw in a "hard-headed female scientist" (Lorraine Bracco) and -- why not? -- a cure for cancer, and you're practically guaranteed...
...ANYONE STUPID ENOUGH to believe Bush's rhetoric about a New World Order would be surprised at his old world politics. The democratic regime is simply too far left and Haiti too small to elicit an impassioned response from Bush.

Why is it all right for Bob Kerrey to divorce his wife and invite an actress, Debra Winger, to move into the Nebraska Governor's mansion for a time (the Nebraskans loved that touch of glamour) and wrong for Bill Clinton to stay married to his wife and work through their troubles...
