LOS ANGELES -  Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" took in a whopping $21.8 million in its first three days, becoming the first documentary ever to debut as Hollywood's top weekend film.
In a related story, in her review of Bill Clinton's tall tales for The New York Times Book Review this week, Michiko Kakutani wrote:
The book, which weighs in at more than 950 pages, is sloppy, self-indulgent and often eye-crossingly dull ... In many ways, the book is a mirror of Mr. Clinton's presidency: lack of discipline leading to squandered opportunities; high expectations, undermined by self-indulgence and scattered concentration.
