...early-to-bed town of farmers was bug-eyed when the case broke, but few people in Champagne-Mouton knew Einhorn, a man who spoke little French and was seldom seen except to pick up his International Herald Tribune twice a week at the village newsstand. A pile of the papers ordered for him sits there now. At the nearby police station, the gendarme who knocked on Einhorn's door wonders if ever again he will see "FBI" on the same line as "Champagne-Mouton" in the papers. There hasn't been a single crime in the village since Einhorn...
...like Cosmo Kramer--she doesn't just walk, she makes an entrance, for better or worse. This time, she flings herself onto her bed. Used to her histrionics, I'm like, "Yeah, whatever--you'll get over your latest trauma." But this time she had a problem I could identify with...
Panicked, the girls decide to return her to her bed and make it look like she has been raped. In the process, the school outcast Fern Mayo (newcomer Judy Evans Greer) stops by Liz's house and unwittingly overhears the girls discussing the murder. But the unflappable Courtney Shayne (Rose McGowan) makes Fern a deal she can't refuse: instant popularity in return for her silence. Thus Courtney creates the vivacious "Vylette" as Fern's alter-ego, and her homely self is cast aside...

An inverted Manhattan skyline spans the walls of an empty room in one large photograph; on the other side of the gallery's entrance, grayscale clapboard houses cascade behind the dimpled shadows of a rumpled bed. The result is spellbinding. Forget the brainless integration of disparate images accessible to anyone with Adobe Photoshop; Morell wields a technique known since the time of Plato (think the Cave Allegory): the camera obscura, in which a single aperture allows for the projection of outside images onto the walls...
...bard's works for the play that might be the next big thing, but the question has arisen of who really wrote Shakespeare in Love. The London press pointed out last week that the screenplay of that very palpable hit has remarkable similarities to the plot of No Bed for Bacon, a 1941 novel by Caryl Brahms and S.J. Simon. A spokesman for Miramax, the film's distributor, could only respond, "Nothing is truly original. Shakespeare borrowed and adapted plots himself." To borrow (a bad habit) from T.S. Eliot, "Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal...
