...Steffan enjoyed his sweet vindication, the new policy toward gays, folded into Congress's proposed $261 billion military budget, reached the Oval Office for the President's signature.

Moviegoers in dead-end jobs and edgy relationships will wish they could live half as glamorously as Bob Jones dies. This is Final Exit, Hollywood-style: death warmed over...
