...Clinton era. The centerpiece of the President's "Third Way" or "New Democrat" ideology was to challenge the Republicans' traditional monopoly on being the party of business. The Clinton administration may have have blown hot and then cold on its liberal advocates over the past seven years, but its bottom line has consistently been the bottom line of America...
...relationship is via the physical act of love--and in this sense, The End of the Affair has love to spare. Rarely in an American film has sex been depicted with such frankness and frequency. Crotches are grabbed, hips are rhythmically thrust and even Ralph's pale, well-formed bottom makes an extended appearance.

What excites me is fighting for 15 or 20 minutes to land a 35 or 40 pounder, like I have done. Once I get them, though, I let them go. I'm not a killer. My family doesn't eat fish anyway. I take a picture, instead. I've got quite a selection of pictures." Billy hunts less successfully than he fishes. "I hunt sea duck," he said...
