...smashed into a divider two weeks after getting my license. Since then, I've crashed into an IROC, a Camry and two Jeeps - which is not bad considering that I haven't owned a car in eight years. So when I was offered an opportunity to drive Grave Digger, the most famous monster truck in monster truckdom, I felt qualified...
...speak ill of the dead" is an ancient axiom. But there were few good words said of Bonny Lee Bakley, 44, after she was shot in the head in a car outside Vitello's Italian restaurant in Studio City, Calif. Gold digger. Star stalker. Con artist. Grifter. Those were the polite descriptions. Bakley was the mother of two girls born out of wedlock: a seven-year-old who she claimed was fathered by rock-'n'-roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis (paternity was never substantiated), and an 11-month-old she said had been sired by Marlon Brando's troubled...
...them the good news. There were West Virginia coal baron James (Buck) Harless, who raised at least $100,000 as a Bush "Pioneer"; Stephen Addington, president of Kentucky-based AEI Resources, whose executives gave more than $600,000 to Republicans last election; and lobbyists for Peabody Energy, the biggest digger in the country, whose chairman gave the Republican Party more than $250,000 last year.

Here, single lawyer Joan (Tracee Ellis Ross, Diana's daughter) plays straight woman to three irritating cliches--a gold digger, a p.c. student and a sassy homegirl. The dialogue has moments ("We subscribe to free love; Joan subscribes to Essence"), but it's a mystery why these four ever became pals. Too bad, because Ross has an appealingly nervous edge. Like unlucky-at-love Joan, she's talented, she's pretty--and she could do much, much better...
...skillful and sympathetic handling of her two central characters. Miriam is well meaning almost to a fault; her idealism sometimes shades into a simulacrum of selfishness, an unwillingness to credit other people with feelings as pure as her own. And Ronnee, who imagines herself a cool, calculating gold digger, is actually a vulnerable young woman burdened by society with conflicting identities. "Yeah, I know," she says at one point. "Nothing is black and white. Except me. I'm black and white...
