Milos Forman's film Man on the Moon, and Jim Carrey's performance as the artist constantly in question, don't attempt to answer that conundrum. Both merely present Kaufman with a dispassionate, ultimately hypnotizing objectivity. It is very possibly the best work each man has done, and assuredly the best thing screenwriters Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski have done in a joint career devoted to odd fellows--Ed Wood, Larry Flynt--coolly observed...
...Harvard theater has always been a conundrum. Some plays cause a stir, others disappear without the slightest whisper. To many, the theater community might as well be its own little school each semester, these aspriring actors, directors, playwrights and crew members work their asses off to put up 20-25 shows around campus.

...Chechen conundrum has no easy solutions.

CAPE FEAR The evergreen fashion conundrum: Will it be passe before you pay for it? Last year's shoulder-hugging shrug is as good as donated. This season the cape is back, but not as we knew it: ponchoesque, snug, midriff baring (perfect for that elusive frozen-tummy, toasty-collarbone feel). There's even a summer cape. Trade it in for a new shrug come next year...
