...conspiracy spinning, together with his self-aggrandizing blast faxes to reporters--"Klayman looks to no one, other than God, for guidance and direction," a recent fax proclaimed--has won him his share of attention in Washington, some of it puzzled, some mocking. In the online magazine Slate, Jacob Weisberg declares that "Klayman is off his rocker." But at least one of Klayman's early lines of pursuit has been picked up by independent counsel Kenneth Starr, a man who has faced, and faced down, more than a few complaints about his own investigative techniques. Last week Harold Ickes, the former...
...Slate's move will at least help answer a vital question facing the Webzines: Who needs them? Both Slate and Salon have provided an outlet for provocative writers (Camille Paglia, Jacob Weisberg), clever ideas (Slate's Clintometer, a running gauge of the President's chances of being forced out of office, lately replaced by the Starrometer) and the occasional scoop (Salon's report last week that a group with ties to the Rev.

In fact, one of his worst performances was on the weekend before the New Hampshire primary when, enraged by the New York article, he publicly berated the magazine's political columnist, Jacob Weisberg, and questioned the professionalism of editor in chief Kurt Andersen and Vassar professor Donald Foster, the Shakespearean scholar who had analyzed Klein's prose...
Look again. The Rock, directed by Michael Bay (Bad Boys) and written by David Weisberg, Douglas S. Cook and Mark Rosner, is less a rip-off than a corrective. Slick, brutal and almost human, this is the team-spirit action movie Mission: Impossible should have been...
