It’s Painful to Admit, But Giuliani’s Right Again

Written by Russ Smith on October 5, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

Gore Still Slip-Slidin’ Away It was another tumultuous political week, contradicting once again all the left-wing, and left-behind, pundits and elected officials who claim the 2000 presidential race is "boring." Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, a steadfast supporter of Al Gore (now that’s an unholy marriage of convenience) pooh-poohed the sudden rise of Bill Bradley, saying

Escher’s Green World

Written by J.R. Taylor on October 5, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

That’s my privilege, because this was my kind of place. My upbringing was designed to make me feel at home in this setting. These are my people. We share a certain social stature, and I walk among them as equals. Tonight, I am not Gary Coleman. I am Ronald Colman. Then I walk over to

Howard Stern’s Robin Quivers

Written by None - Do not Delete on October 5, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

FACE=”New York” SIZE=1> Q&A with Robin Quivers Robin Quivers has the best female voice on radio, just as Howard Stern has the best male voice, and they’ve made a uniquely successful team since they started in Washington, DC, in 1981. As it turns out, Andy Krents, George Tabb’s entertainment lawyer friend, has known Quivers since

Prejudice Over Profit in New York Publishing

Written by R.S. McCain on October 5, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

You’ve probably never heard of Robert A. Waters or his book, The Best Defense: True Stories of Intended Victims Who Defended Themselves With a Firearm. "Success" is a relative term, and for a first-time author at a small publishing house to sell thousands of copies in one year is pretty impressive, but it isn’t going

Taps for Pat

Written by Christopher Caldwell on October 5, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

There must be romance in the air. South Carolina Congressman Mark Sanford, now backing John McCain, described his feelings for Pat Buchanan, as if the two had met for a quickie in the high school gym. Sanford thinks Republicans should demand their charm bracelet back and ask Buchanan, "Can we still be friends?" (And then

Amy & Bruce In Sweden

Written by None - Do not Delete on September 28, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

The trouble with Amy Sohn is that she’s no Candace Bushnell. Compared to the struggling nobodies and poor slobs Amy knows and writes about, Bushnell’s rich and famous are interesting, even if their names aren’t revealed. Bushnell also wrote with style and class. Sohn doesn’t deserve to be working for the same paper as Cindy

Pat’s New Clan

Written by David Corn on September 28, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

Just as the Warren Beatty for President candle began to flicker, here was a political comet. Picture a three-way race with Buchanan: the debates might even be interesting. And the emergence of a Buchanan factor would give politicos much gabbing material. Will he hurt the GOP? My guess is that most of us in Washington

For Sale: Siberia

Written by John Ellis on September 28, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

Thievery enablement is now no longer a sustainable Russia policy. So what do we do? In two words: buy it, or, more precisely, buy Siberia and neighboring territory from Russia. Almost eight years ago, Walter Russell Mead of the Council on Foreign Relations proposed in a Los Angeles Times op-ed piece that the United States

GQ Drops Back, Unloads

Written by Lisa Kearns on September 28, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

But that was 17 years ago. My father’s dead and the Chargers suck. What I was wondering was why a fashion magazine like GQ loves football–other than the obvious benefits that flow from nearly two pounds of glossy advertising. I headed to Gallagher’s Steak House, to the party tossed by GQ editor-in-chief Art Cooper along

The Vanilla Thrilla

Written by Jonathan Ames on September 28, 1999. Posted in Breaking News, Posts

I met Leslie in February of 1997 at the Den of Cin performance space beneath Two Boots Pizza on Ave. A. After the show I had attended was over, people were milling about, and I overheard Leslie–a medium height, barrel-chested man with thinning hair, a sweet smile, a peacockish posture and a vibrato of physical
