...talented Ang Lee directs this film about uneasy family relationships in the restess, promiscuous 1970s with crystalline precision. As the leaders of two archly funny but disturbingly bleak suburban clans, Kevin Kline, Joan Allen and Sigourney Weaver give refreshingly honest performances, but the film's ending offers their characters no hint of redemption. The ice storm, as a natural symbol of change and the wiping away of sins, is like Noah's flood without the rainbow...
...Fundamentally, the economy is in remarkable shape," says Martin Zimmerman, director of corporate economics for Ford Motor Co. Allen Sinai, chief global economist of Primark Decision Economics, goes further: "It's terrific. Having a combination of good times on Main Street and Wall Street for so long is rare.

...Witness the increasingly bloated bandwagon on Kansas City simply because the team had a couple of good Sundays in Arrowhead. After a 30-0 pounding of the Raiders coupled with a Broncos loss to the Steelers, NFL pundits are rumbling that the team featuring 107-year running back Marcus Allen, who was a Raider on the last AFC team to win the Super Bowl back when Chelsea was a wee lass, could go all the way.

When they occur, pessimism and words like catastrophe are usually in evidence, as is some element of resolve. It's all there in Japan today. The question isn't whether things will...

Captured suspect Jerald Dean Allen flashed hate tattoos and announced, "I'm fighting for my cause." A week later, Matthaeus Jaehnig, 25, ended a similar chase by killing officer Bruce VanderJagt and then himself. Jaehnig was a longtime member of a group called the Denver Skins. Dozens of apparent skinheads attended his funeral, and a few days later, someone deposited a dead pig inscribed with the name VANDERJAGT near the slain policeman's station house...
