...movie on a steep right-wing bias. Harry is more than a policeman, he is an avenging god. He has the strength and endurance of ten because his heart is pure law-and-order. Harry succeeds in tracking down the killer, only to see him slip away under the cloak of snivelling libertarianism. The district attorney, backed by an intellectual judge from Berkeley, informs Harry that the criminal's rights were violated. This inverted bit of deus ex machina gives Scorpio time to terrorize a busload of children and sends Harry off again on the righteous pursuit of his maniac...
...deeply cut folds, strict as metal, building up a system of pyramids that finishes in the smooth, serene, Gothic arch of St. Anne's wimple. By the 16th century the church was commissioning more elaborately naturalistic works. There is still a trace of Gothic rigor in the sweeping cloak of its lindenwood Mary Magdalene, but in all other respects she is almost a portrait, down to the look of pleased anticipation on her broad face as she uncaps the flask to anoint Christ's feet...

It's hard not to wince at the thought of what little Lucy will be like when she grows up. The strident beginnings of a first-class shrew increase her "crabbiness" ("it's undemocratic if I can't be Queen") to a screeching...
...additional reports from a score of Sunday Times correspondents from La Paz to Seoul. "At the stage where other papers are ready to publish, we're just beginning to dig," explains "Insight" Editor Barry. In the Philby story, for example, they did not rest their case after the cloak-and-dagger investigation was ended. They went on to examine Kim Philby's background and early life, and in so doing added the dimension of "insight" that characterizes the team's reporting at its best...
