...other side of the parking lot there was gridlock. Celebrities waiting for their cars were being delayed because the valet parking people couldn't start Ed Begley's environmentally safe electric car! He hastened over to them and gave them instructions. "They never get it right!" he said good-naturedly. "They always forget the code..." Finally the metallic silver car was roused from its standby mode and Begley and his wife sped off silently, looking like the Jetsons headed home after a night at the Oscars...
...commended. But effort isn't everything, and this mostly freshman production falls flat due to excess and suffers from the problems Strindberg hoped his warning could prevent.The plot holds few surprises.

So long and thick was the line of cars waiting for the valet that actor Johnathon Schaech and his date abandoned their limo and hoofed it up the hill, following the lead of an MTV executive and a couple of Hillary's press representatives. The event itself began with a lot of head-turning. There's Brad and Jennifer! There's John Travolta! There...
...Corzine race wouldn't have got so much notice had he not become the poster child for Money in Politics. Wary of the image, Corzine let a couple of very expensive heads roll out the door of his headquarters last Thursday for spending money on things easy to ridicule: valet parking at a dinner in urban Elizabeth, lavish events in expensive hotels with tuxedoed waiters carving prime rib, and salaries approaching a quarter-million dollars a year. Corzine didn't settle for the usual in-house opposition research but spent $200,000 instead on a Manhattan attorney who subcontracted...
