...troops have turned to the same weapon George Bush wielded unsuccessfully against Clinton. Blair, they charge, is merely an opportunist, a leftist in middle-of-the-road campaign clothing. "With Labour taking many of our positions and all of those that are most important," says Tory strategist Andrew Cooper, "fear is all we've got left. We've got to try and cause people to worry that Tony's changes are just for show, to fear his change rather than welcome him as a nonthreatening crypto-Conservative they can comfortably take a risk on. It hasn't been easy...
...reason for these birds' effectiveness is the genius of their leader, played by former Royal Ballet principal Adam Cooper. His Swan possesses a witchy, sinewy quality that fascinates the Prince and leads him to yearn for personal freedom. As the night continues, the Swan gains the young man's trust.

Tattenbaum and Sheflin...
...embodied the frontiersman's virtues, a free man ranging a free and open land, the rot of the cities, the ambiguities of an intricately developed society well lost. But the description is stale and does not suit Wayne the way it does quieter, more mysterious figures like Gary Cooper and Randolph Scott. For the Duke was only intermittently like them--in The Big Trail, his first starring role, or in the starkly iconographic Hondo, which Wills unaccountably fails to mention. Mostly his character was not a man escaping civilization and its discontents but one bringing them to the wilderness. Discounting...
