...come back to wonder whether there is, in fact, a story to tell. After all, even though we, the television audience, know it's ridiculous for Ally McBeal to keep hearing secrets in the law firm's bathroom, we still forgive it, for sake of unfolding the plot. Heck, it is TV, and she has to find out somehow--why not in the bathroom? At this moment, the public is more disgusted by the media's insistence on publishing every sordid detail and the viciousness with which they pounced on this story than by the President's sexual acts...
...Williams College's Parker bemoan the fact that so many college applicants are "packaged" and pushed by their parents. "Parents are trying to mold their children in ways that would please us," says Parker, "rather than recognizing passions or strong commitments in their children and then encouraging the heck out of those...

Finally, you could say, "Heck, I just want to see babes in sleepwear fleeing psychos with phallic weapons." That is the only good reason so far, but it is also met with disappointment. Alicia Witt and Joshua Jackson escape the TV-dom of "Cybil" and "Dawson's Creek" for far less imaginative roles on the big screen, joined by the fairly beautiful Jared Leto, Rebecca Gayheart and Michael Rosenbaum. Oh, the men are definitely hot (who cares if their characters are completely flat?). Pacey from "Dawson's Creek" especially, with his bleached hair, makes me--happy...
