...sorts and out-of-shape Faulkner withdrew a year ago after less than a week, the victorious whooping of the other cadets was shown on national television. And even last week lawyers for both sides were still wrangling over such details as what to do about a pregnant cadet (kick her out when she can no longer handle the military exercises; then, if appropriate, readmit her after the child is born); whether to shave the women's heads like the male knobs (a short cut will be permissible); and whether freshmen may date upperclassmen (they...
There's a good reason for Lo's emotional volatility; she's profoundly pregnant. There's also a bad reason for it; she's doing her best to deny--or at least minimize--her highly inconvenient condition. It is more than Manny, patient and practical as she is, can cope with.

Amanda (Scarlett Johansson) and Laurel (Aleksa Palladino), according to convention hereafter referred to as "Manny" and "Lo," survive through shoplifting, house-breaking-and-sleeping-in, and the liberal use of their deceased mother's station wagon.

In any event, it is hardly appropriate for Dole, in the age of real bombs, to be applauding a movie in which the White House blows up (while he's also demanding that...
Something about women journalists brings out the worst in a man. Ask Katie Couric. Or a pregnant reporter whom Republican Congressman Wes Cooley of Oregon threatened to punch in the nose for asking uncomfortable questions about his wife's finances. Or Mimi Swartz, a National Magazine Award winner who had the temerity to write a profile in Texas Monthly of freshman Congressman Steve Stockman, a former house painter who personifies the desire of voters to throw out incumbents in favor of the inexperienced and the uninformed. Offering a great deal of evidence, she described him as a militia-loving, ethically...
