...genre is that there is no twist. You keep waiting for the irony to kick in, but the characters just plod through the purgatory they've created for themselves. More a case history than a devious puzzle, the movie is like a story overheard from the next restaurant booth: for all your curiosity as to how it turns out, you're not likely to have much personal investment in the people. Actually, Married Life doesn't suck. Its actors lend conviction to their roles, and the film looks classy, like a visit to my favorite Greenwich Village Deco furniture store...

While they do not approach passersby themselves, the Scientologists are quick to laud their faith to those who show interest. The religion recently became well-known...
...reading your article "It's Their Turn Now" [Feb. 11]. It is great to see people under 30 enthused about voting in this year's presidential election. I hope they will stay inspired beyond this November. It is important to remember that politics does not end at the voting booth and that the President needs the cooperation of Congress to fulfill most campaign promises. Citizens don't have to wait until the next election to make their voices heard. Those who stay involved and make their wishes known influence what happens. It would be nice to be able to elect...
