...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. Jerry Falwell has paid $200,000 to people making allegations against Clinton--a charge Falwell's camp denies). But the barrage of 'zine commentary, columnizing and contrarian...

In the past few weeks alone, in a sort of limp-up to the Inauguration, observers such as Jacob Weisberg, Garry Wills and Maureen Dowd have scowled at his scandals, his personal treacheries and alleged philandering.

Directed by Michael Bay (Bad Boys) and written by David Weisberg, Douglas S. Cook and Mark Rosner, the movie is less a rip-off than a corrective. "This is the team-spirit action movie Mission Impossible should have been," says TIME's Richard Corliss. A tortured general (Ed Harris) and some renegade Marines seize Alacatraz, take 81 tourists hostage and threaten to launch gas rockets across the bay to vaporize San Francisco. An FBI biochemist (Nicolas Cage) is dispatched...
