...jars, old-fashioned scales, basket, and copper kettles make for interesting conversation pieces when coffee-talk goes stale. Merriam's sister Susan, a graduate student at Harvard, created the soft-colored paintings that hang on the walls, complementing the tranquil effect generated by the blue-green, cream and white decor of the small interior. One simply feels content sitting among the friendly and sociable clientele, many of whom are regulars. The loyalty of Panini's patrons is revealed every Saturday morning, when, beginning at seven, the line is out the door and around the corner...
Throughout the movie, Stone cannot resist indulging his overt, slap-in-the-face style. Has this man never heard of subtlety? One of the many instances occurs when Mickey comes to save Mallory. The entire episode is packaged as a sitcom fully equipped with fake, plastic decor creating a surreal aura reinforced by track laughter. This seems acceptable enough.

But not even six months after its January opening, disaster struck: an enthusiastic write-up in the Los Angeles Times. Owner Janice DeSoto expects to survive the blow, but she knows there will be a price...
...tedious days in his cell, a beige, windowless room measuring 9 ft. by 7 ft. and furnished only with an iron bunk and a stainless-steel toilet next to a sink. A cardboard box on the floor, containing papers and letters, and the odd apple or orange complete the decor. As a protective-custody inmate, Simpson is denied access to mess halls, rooftop exercise areas or even the chapel. His only breaks are two hour-long periods of activity in the "freeway" of the corridor. There he can use the public phone, watch TV on a mobile stand and exercise...
