...altering the course of the tide pouring through the area. Within the past two months, it was announced that two of the oldest establishments in Cambridge--Schoenhol's and pangloss Bookstores--will soon close down to make room for a new office complex. And another branch of the Au Bon Pain chain has replaced. The Crimzon Shop in the choice Holyoke Center location...
...enhanced the chilling irony of Jim Thompson's Southern-gothic novel Pop. 1280 by setting it in the blazing heat of French colonial Africa circa 1938. His script, written with Jean Aurenche, has a way of sneaking brutal truths home in comic forms that range from the bon mot to the shaggy-dog story.

...longueurs, and moments when the plot trips, like Jeremy, over its own complications. Even here there are vagrant delights: a funny, scary chase scene, hints of death and resurrection, and enough sci-fi elements to keep teen-agers happy. But The Secret of NIMH is more important as Bon Bluth's declaration of dependence on a form of popular art that can infuse every corner of the imagination with its rainbow light. If Uncle Walt were to gaze on his renegade nephews, even he might approve...
