...take three swings on the first hole, but they were practice drives, really), President Clinton doesn't seem to need much help. But as Americans, we want a President who plays the best darn game of golf possible, so TIME called in some experts for their advice. Below, Claude ("Butch") Harmon Jr.--famed swing doctor to Tiger Woods, Greg Norman and Davis Love III--gives his detailed suggestions for the presidential stroke. "The President has a decent swing. If he had more time to practice, it would be better," says Harmon. "I'm sure his swing is going...
...since. One of the first strictly setting-driven action movie finales (think of the two Terminators and their convenient ending locales), and also the hardest-boiled. Absolutely required for anyone who thinks "you dirty rat" is the only thing Cagney ever said. . . COMPETITION: Scarface. A balcony always adds something. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

And the two detectives are well drawn, without much Butch-and-Sundance romanticizing. They like and respect each other, yet there is a gulf between them that is not race prejudice but simply an unbridgeably different racial experience. Ellis, who's black, puts his career on the line for his white colleague Marshall, for instance, but never tells...
...think SOME (extremely wise) people take the department seriously," one student says in an e-mail message. "But I do not think the department is taken as seriously as it should be, or by as many as it should. People have archaic notions of feminism such as 'lesbian-butch-male-bashing-etc.' which they also apply to 'women's studies...
