...their lines with little feeling. Marcovicci in particular damages what could be some of the movie's better scenes. She speaks mechanically, as though reading her part for the first time. Her love scenes with Allen are spoiled by the combination of abominable acting and typical one-liners that belong in Play It Again, Sam, not in a serious film...
...measure the government received a stinging setback. At issue was a bill that would allow longshoremen-who belong to the powerful Transport and General Workers' Union, led by Jack Jones, a key supporter of the government's wage-austerity program-the right to handle cargo up to five miles away from British coastal ports. The legislation gives union members a foothold in the unloading of container shipping, which has reduced the need for longshore labor at docksides.

...things to come. Or that it will merely settle into a prosperous rut, another gimmicky private-eye show with a following that keeps it safely anchored somewhere in the middle of the ratings.

In fact, the rivalry between Premier Yitzhak Rabin, 54, and Defense Minister Shimon Peres, 53, has become so intense that practically every issue in Israel's hothouse politics polarizes into...
...such epic figures as Homer, Vergil and Dante, as well as Bob Dylan, B.B. King, and John Coltrane. Albert B. Lord, Porter Professor of Slavic and Comparative Literature, and lecturer in Hum 9b, Oral and Popular Literature, calls Blue "sui-generis" though. Lord believes that Blue "does not really belong to any particular tradition in storytelling." He says that Blue relies on autobiographical material in an improvisational way. "As far as I know, Blue's stories are not those handed down among generations orally. This would more accurately be called oral literature." Lord adds that Blue is "a phenomenon...
