...military, they might be placed in segregated units. While such a compromise was tossed around in the testy debate between President and Pentagon, the White House began taking even that back within | minutes of the press conference, leaving a perfect score of no news for Clinton's East Room debut. Every thought, every nuance on policy, in fact almost every word had been spoken before in one of the many media Clinton now exploits...

Candida's fail-safe feminist speech enlivens the otherwise kittenish and cloying Broadway debut of Mary Steenburgen, an Oscar winner for Melvin and Howard. But the real joy is watching fellow film star Robert Sean Leonard (Dead Poets Society, Swing Kids) as her coltish adolescent admirer. He brings quiet reality to the most extravagant talk and gawkily comic gestures and makes one think the play...
