...Clinton camp's public response to Paula Jones' sexual-harassment suit has been what could be called the "big-hair defense"--jokes about her working-class origins and bravado that this evangelist's daughter from Lonoke, Arkansas, could not possibly win a "he said, she said" dispute with the President of the United States. Former Clinton adviser James Carville wisecracked that if you "drag $100 bills through trailer parks, there's no telling what you'll find."

These art films won international success because of his effortless allure. La Notte, with its blank walls and arid stares, was withal an essay in star quality...
...demure, Catholic-schoolgirl hairstyle. (She donned the Evita look for the film's Hollywood premiere, but otherwise, she says, "it's something for special occasions. You're not going to see me with my hair up in a chignon, wearing padded shoulders and a nipped-in-at-the-waist suit every day, that's for sure.") Accepting a Billboard magazine music award on Dec. 4, she thanked her fans, "who have stuck by me through all the years, through thick and thin, when even I wasn't sure exactly what I was doing...
