...elsewhere around the world, there was deep concern in Washington about the eventual consequences of Sadat's mission. A former American diplomat who knows the Egyptian President well feared that Sadat had acted as much out of desperation as inspiration. A moderate who genuinely wants peace, Sadat may have suspected that he faced a hopeless fate at Geneva unless the format and the atmosphere were changed. He would not be able to work anything out with the Israelis, and his strategy would be vetoed by the Syrians and the Soviets at every turn. In that climate, Sadat could not survive...
...credit, South Africa's judicial system chose to accommodate that public concern. The case was assigned to a galleried courtroom in a former synagogue converted to judicial use several years ago. There each morning Biko's widow Ntsiki and other relatives, still dressed in deep mourning, assembled silently in the front row. Some 250 other spectators packed the remaining seats.

The statistics say that today, 6.9 million Americans are looking for work, a number usually associated with deep recession rather than steady growth. But the scary overall figures mask conditions that are both better and worse than they seem. On the plus side, the unemployment rate for all whites is 6.1%. Among white adult males the rate is only 4.5%, and for women 6.8%. Where the picture...
Thankfully, the movie improves appreciably from here on in. The relationship passes through its utopian phase, and after discovering some Freudian flaws deep in Caroline's psyche, the cynical viewer gets the sadistic pleasure of watching a helplessly idealistic relationship march inexorably to its demise. At this point, those in the audience who have never been through this painful process will weep, and those who have will smile smugly, nod their heads and derive a pleasant satisfaction from knowing that they were not the only ones...
