...final day of Obama's trip seemed to be a metaphorical stroll from Britain's past to its future. He had breakfast at his hotel with former Prime Minister Tony Blair, now a Middle East envoy for the international community. It was followed by a meeting with the embattled current one, the Labor Party's Gordon Brown. Obama then proceeded to one at the parliament building with the youthful and charismatic David Cameron, leader of the Conservative Party opposition. Also at 10 Downing Street while Obama was there: David Lammy, one of two black ministers in Brown's government...
...hard not to root for these teens, even Megan, the somehow-poor little rich girl. But it's also tough to ignore their similarities to countless characters in teen dramas and comedies. John Hughes sculpted a career writing about kids like these in The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink; Judd Apatow's Freaks and Geeks mined the same vein. Burstein's film is way more earnest, but she's learned a lot, maybe too much, from the movies' take on teendom. Rather than offer a gritty view, upending the familiar vision of high school angst, she has fashioned...
...Once we sat down, I realized I had no idea who these people were. Luckily, like every liberal event I've ever been to, the breakfast began by having us go around the room and talk about ourselves. I used the time to play L.A. bingo, which I won when every single person used at least one of the following words: activist, conserve, screenwriter, progress, environment, producer or filmmaker. Then I figured we'd be asked to give money for something or hold hands across America, but instead it turned into a weird kind of show-and-tell...
...away with everything, and the dean of students (Jeffrey Jones), who distills all the pettiness of spirit and smallness of mind in a teen's view of adult authority. Jones provides John Hughes with the comic mainspring he needs to launch himself successfully in a new direction. In The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink, Hughes portrayed adolescent angst in a fairly realistic light. But from the moment Ferris turns to the camera to address the audience, we know that realism is out. Ferris and his adventures represent a teen's dream of glory: to have, at one's fingertips...
...Whittier, a seaport near Anchorage, the Cunard Princess stocked its cold rooms with 12,500 lbs. of beef and 6,000 lbs. of seafood. Guests, who paid $1,325 to $2,670 for the trip, could experience the thrust and heave of great tectonic plates of nourishment at prebreakfast, breakfast, midmorning bouillon, lunch, tea, a five-course dinner and, of course, midnight buffet. Jay Johnson, 23, a well- and happily fed store owner from Durham, N.C., speared a chunk of king crab and admitted that anyplace else ''it would cost me a fortune to eat like this.'' Passengers on such...
