September 1996: "Doing Lines"

"... I have also read that at the highest levels of awareness, Scientologists are told about an early alien invasion of Earth; I have trouble with the Second Coming, but I like any religion that prophesies the box office potential of Independence Day."

March 1996: "Girlfriendly Fire"

"I asked if Jameesa thought that the O.J. verdict was a wake-up call showing how polarized the races are in America, and she said, No, it was more like the latest 'Who Shot J.R.?' and that only in America is racism treated like the ultimate Super Bowl, with T-shirts, instant replay, and way too much commentary from the sidelines."

January 1996: "The Scarlet A+"

Subbing for Libby this month is her daughter, Jennifer Waxner.

"Movies are the best way to read books, because you can see everything that people are wearing, and when it gets boring you can talk to your friends, but when you're just reading a book all you can do is keep pretending to read so your mom will be proud that you're still reading."
