...usually starts an hour after I eat: a burning sensation that hovers somewhere behind my breastbone. If I have an antacid on hand, the burning subsides. If not, it builds until I'm in fiery agony. I still remember one awful night 25 years ago, when I ate a greasy lump of fried dough on a train in Yugoslavia. It felt as though I had swallowed a vial of hydrochloric acid. Actually, that's not too far from the truth. The stomach is essentially a bag filled with powerful acid. If it weren't for a lining of protective cells...

Like Camille's theatricals, the Anne Rapp script dawdles through predictable Southern Gothic plot twists that a real writer like Beth Henley would use to showcase memorably bent characters. Rapp's idea of character comedy is to have the movie's villain literally caught with her hand...
...block" rule, that America should enter fights with every bit of force available or not at all. Second, that the U.S. should never start a fight it didn't know how to end. Powell's doctrine was designed as a kind of notional vaccine against slow-build, slow-burn conflicts like Vietnam. But last week's action exploded both principles: America was not only moving in with less than blinding violence, it was also moving in without knowing how exactly it was supposed...
