...HUPD prides itself on its smooth professionalism: it is a fully-charged police force with sworn, armed officers patrolling all day, every day. Instead of the security guards found at many colleges, Harvard's police department rivals any city's in its training and powers...
...label machinations and countless slights, real or imagined, at the hands the male species had to keep her public waiting for the follow-up to 1995's "I'm With Stupid," but talent will out -- especially with friends like director Paul Thomas Anderson, who crafted "Magnolia" around her songs, instead of the other way around.

Gore is vulnerable as a throwback liberal, a big- government, all-daddy statist whose big rock candy mountain mentality assumes that the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings...
...behavior. The Clintons' apparent lack of direct involvement makes the story less juicy, but the suit did have some dishy details about life in the West Wing kitchen: Once, claims McCulloch, after spurning yet another advance, she was ordered to peel eight crates of kiwi fruit; and another time, instead of making the President's birthday cake, usually a highlight of the year, she was told to clean out the refrigerator...
