...political take, however, pales next to the chagrin of watching Path move inexorably toward its climax. The last few minutes--inside the planes, the towers and the conference rooms on 9/11--are tastefully handled, though no less chilling. But they're beside the point. What matters is what happened before and what happened--and didn't--afterward. An epilogue notes the commission's report card, issued last December, which found that most of its recommendations--securing weapons of mass destruction, delegating antiterrorism funds by risk--have been carried out badly...
...Stroheim as a jilted, jealous lover, begins with a 1 min. 42 sec. opening shot, in which the camera perches outside a Mexico City vaudeville theater, pauses courteously while customers buy their tickets and present them to the doorman, then tracks slowly down the center aisle for the climax of a cape-twirling act and the beginning of a clown routine.

But if Iran's response generates sufficient interest among those countries in continuing the discussion, there could be even more frustration ahead for Washington...
...Tornaritis both earned playing time with the Harvard men’s soccer team. The twins, local products who attended Groton-Dunstable and played on the team there together, had played soccer and left their mark on the field together at a number of levels. Their careers reached a climax with the Crimson, as both became mainstays and impact players by the end of their four seasons. Nicholas finished this season second on the team with 13 points and three goals, while Anthony registered seven points (three goals, one assist). Nicholas was named to the All-Ivy second team...
