Clinton has always been known for his tip-toeing on delicate issues, but this is no time to be politically vague. When any policy threatens the national security of the United States, it should be scrutinized without hesitancy. This includes "constructive engagement."

Nearer Manhattan's southern tip, pre-schoolers will recognize the waterfront from Donald Crews' picture book Harbor and Hardie Gramatky's tugboat tale Little Toot. Older ones will recall Fraunces Tavern as the setting of Judith Berry Griffin's Phoebe the Spy, the tale of an African-American girl who supposedly saved George Washington's life...

For example, while promoting their first album, Ooooooohhh...on the TLC Tip, the members sported condoms affixed to their clothes.

...Richard Dreyfuss and written by David Mamet. Dreyfuss gets to spit out some Mametian wisdom--"People dislike what they envy"--but mostly Dreyfuss and the movie are sluggish, as old Meyer dawdles through his memories. What's left is a gallery of dark haberdashery and hard faces. Still, a tip of the fedora to the reliably fabulous Beverly d'Angelo (as a brassy Mrs. Lansky) and to Eric Roberts (Bugsy Siegel). Roberts smiles and snarls through a visage of cracked pottery, or cracked poetry...
