...historic ascent required blocking Clinton's. Experience can be a virtue, but it also means familiarity and wounds and scars, and it was hard to look at her onstage - her husband behind her, his gears visibly spinning - and see her as the future. Many who saw Clinton as the victim of virulent sexism could still be eager to move on to someone who did not fight in the last...
...Moore, though, is the main victim. The movie's take on him can be synopsized in the title of a book published within a few weeks of the Fahrenheit 9/11 opening: Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man. (That was a riff on Al Franken's best seller Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations.)

...three defendants have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, and in separate accounts have blamed the attack on robbers. They have also accused the police of mishandling evidence, including the victim's bra, which they say had the defendants' DNA on it because it had been left on the crime scene for days after the murder. But each defendant's legal team has insinuated in court that the fellow defendants may be responsible for the murder. Guede reportedly chose the fast-track procedure because he feared the other two defendants had a pact against...
