...chance: she is destiny." It was out of that conservatism -- the cult of the parental farmhouse as the model of Catalan society -- that Joan Miro (before he reacted into surrealism) created his detailed and almost fanatically ordered images of life on his father's property at Montroig, whose climax is The Farm, 1921-22. This is the first exhibition to give Catalan Noucentisme its due place in the general pattern of modern art, and for that alone it is a valuable and original show...

Although the Justices confer alone and vote in complete secrecy, the clerks listen to their bosses' instructions, often see their private notes and write the preliminary drafts of the opinions. The custom of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, recalls University of Michigan law professor Kent Syverud, is to give her clerks "a firm outline" of her opinion, then take the clerks' ensuing draft -- together with all the relevant research -- and "edit the hell...

Typical of the entire movie, Towne does not set up this, or any other of the films' emotional turns, with any believability. Cruise's breathtaking response is preceeded by a bewildering psychoanalysis of Duvall's character which would seem to require telepathy and clairvoyance to produce...
