...grown indistinguishable from the endless cosmetics aisles and multiplexes of our postmodern world. But there's no pot of gold at the end of Rainbow. The album strips that sound down to its purest form, cleverly obfuscating Mariah's predictably smarmy lyrics with sonorous mumblings, so that we can clasp Mariah's vocal range to our hearts without having to trouble with the language. Trouble is, "Always be My Baby" is exactly what you'll be expecting after a few minutes of listening, as Rainbow sounds a lot like Butterfly, her previous album. To the album's credit...
...nearby villages." Harvard students today hale from such far-off ports as San Francisco, Anchorage and Honolulu. Should not they, too, be able to have the time to visit their friends and family on Thanksgiving? Surely, the University is not so stingy as to begrudge them the time to clasp their hands over a hearty meal with loved ones, and with airline tickets none-too-cheap, the University should recognize that those who do leave will want to take the full benefit of their fares...
...numbers, and the Kroks end up like punchmasters more than anything else, except that, as one Porcellian member points out to me, the Krokodiloes make their judgements based on some kind of objective merit.

One of the first things I noticed when I watched with her was Tinky Winky and his "bag." Bag, schmag! It's a purse, complete with a clasp at the top, just like my grandmother used to carry. I'm not saying the creators were intending to create a gay character, but he is definitely a very different male creature from any we've seen on kids' shows before. DEBRA YEO Pasadena, Calif...
...sort of homage to longtime Lethal Weapon fans, the film ends with a not-quite-maudlin finale that merges with a multi-picture photo album underlay of the credits, but the real end of the movie comes fifteen minutes earlier, when Murtaugh and Riggs clasp each other and pause for a moment after vanquishing the last villain. They have come a long way from their early days, and the scene captures that feeling even for those who don't know the duo's history. Like that scene, the movie as a whole takes both characters a step past their development...
