...divorce. But I also know this: Dr. Lewinsky worked very hard--full time as a radiation oncologist to treat cancer and at night as an emergency physician. He was, and is, a compassionate man. All this talk of a violent temper, of verbal abuse of his children and wife, has more to do with lawyers and divorce strategy than reality...
...legal bills. (Currie declined.) But even aside from the Lewinsky mess, the past year has been difficult for Currie.

Along the way, he tracks down his soul, ditches chippie Angela Lansbury and falls back in love with wife Kate, who shimmers here with inside-and-out loveliness. Yes, this one outwags "Wag the Dog" for currency, excepting of course the Capra ending -- but we don't expect to see Mr. Smith turn up on C-SPAN either...
