...this problem by deciding not to crop at all. After opening with Wallace’s death, the film breezes through his childhood in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, his stint as a drug dealer, his meteoric rise to fame, and finally the East Coast-West Coast beef that ultimately cost him his life. Occasional narration from Biggie (Jamal Woolard) smooths over the narrative transitions, but Voletta Wallace (played by a surprisingly stilted Angela Bassett) awkwardly butts in as a second narrator to eulogize her son as the film closes on his triumphant funeral parade. The real Voletta...
...greater environmental and economic advantages. Expanded unemployment benefits and food stamps would be excellent stimulus - and those are both desperately needed right now. Retrofitting federal buildings to use less energy would provide jobs now and reduce federal energy costs in the future. By contrast, professor Feldstein's proposal to beef up the military could dramatically increase both our future obligations for pensions and health-care costs for veterans. In general, most of the current proposals (though not all of them) aim to limit the new spending to the next two years...

At their kitchen in California, they ran time trials, tinkering with everything from the garnish on their pistachio-crusted cod to the shape of their beef filet (in the end, it went from square to round), and learning to move past each other in a graceful ballet...
...being privy to the African-American experience somehow endows Freeman or Jones with voice-of-God (VOG) vocal cords. Their riveting vocal abilities are not racially based. NFL commentators have had the VOG sound, as did the late movie-trailer announcer Don LaFontaine and Robert Mitchum on the "Beef: It's What's for Dinner" TV spots. Those guys were white. Kinsley should do a bit more research before he puts his fingertips to the keyboard. George Rogers, CHICO, CALIF...
