...cutaway coat and vest, impossibly large, worn-out shoes and a battered derby hat--bearing the inscription I AM HERE TODAY. An advertisement for a Charlie Chaplin film was a promise of happiness, of that precious, almost shocking moment when art delivers what life cannot, when experience and delight become synonymous, and our investments yield the fabulous, unmerited bonanza we never get past expecting...
...identification with a child's point of view. Spielberg's best characters are like elaborations of the heroes from old Boy's Life serials, plucky kids who aren't afraid to get in over their head.

Andrea was doing things in quintessential Harvard style--overdoing them, to the delight of her editors and at her own mental, physical and emotional expense. Repeated exhortations that this was "only a job", that Let's Go was as much about enjoying one's time as it was about meeting deadlines, seemed to fall on deaf ears...
