Madame Rosa's death is what half the plot of Madame Rosa, this year's Oscar winner as Best Foreign Film, is about. The other half is about a boy, Momo's, maturation. But there is more to the movie than just the relationship between a dying woman and the growing boy she raises, just as there is more to their relationship than just a difference...
Once, the couple's whirlwind courtship and globally televised marriage had moved sentimental Britons to the core. The tabloids fondly called Snowdon "the Jones boy." Their son David, Viscount Linley, was born in 1961, followed by a daughter, Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones, in 1964. But by 1967 the marriage began to show visible strains.

Though his New York Times columns can be pearls of persuasive good sense, Wicker is hardly a Wunderkind. At 51, he has been a foot soldier in the service of truth, newspaper division, for nearly three decades. He has risen from the Sandhill Citizen of Aberdeen, N.C.-a backwoods weekly for which he sold ads, laid out pages and, incidentally, covered the news. He has been a White House correspondent, Washington bureau chief, columnist and bestselling author...
