...Nirvana. In Utero's one misstep may be the dubious song Rape Me: "Rape me, my friend . . . rape me again." It's meant to be antirape, but beer-blown frat boys may or may not get the irony. The last and best song, All Apologies, seems to anticipate and confront such questions: "What else should I be/ All apologies . . . What else could I write . . . All in all is all we all are." It's a riddling, fitting ending to a great album. Nirvana may not mean heaven, but the trio's new release is very close to divine...
...buttocks and inflatable dildos, all apparently in keeping with the bawdry of the original style.

The most modern moment has James remove her mask to confront the audience about global tolerance of violence.

He and the pricey cast (Ed Harris, Holly Hunter, Wilford Brimley) make the machinery purr. The writers have corrected the book's dangling threat -- how to confront and cleverly resolve Mitch's brief disloyalty to Abby -- and its stodgy ending. The movie's moral is that however corrupt the Mob is, these lawyers are worse. Better for Mitch to cut a deal with a don than to let the firm stay in business...
...Harvard College will soon also have to confront another renovation project as massive as that of the Yard dorms, as the undergraduate houses, especially those along the Charles River, come due for repairs...
