...Landers could use a little advice. The columnist, who cheerfully uttered a grab-bag of insults about famous figures in a New York magazine profile published this week, today apologized to the Polish Roman Catholic Union of America for having called Pope John Paul II a "polack" in the article. "It's time to get out the wet noodle and give myself 40 lashes," read a statement. "I should not have used a slang term for Polish. It was poor judgment, and I apologize."

("I'm the boss," Lenny insists to Max. "Mommy's only the decision maker.") And she cheats on Lenny before he can on her. Her dalliance is a betrayal; his is a quest. Once again Allen's take on marriage is biased and bleak; he sees it as a prison for two, where the condemned may finally rise to a level of reciprocal pity. They achieve...
