...heart Couple is but a cloying romantic comedy, partially camouflaged by characteristic Altman flourishes. The pair are Alex (Paul Dooley) and Sheila (Marta Heflin), lonely souls who meet via a video dating service. It is not love at first sight. Alex is a middle-aged classical music fan who is still under the thumb of his large, oppressively patriarchal Greek family. Sheila is younger, a rock singer, and lives with ambisexual fellow band members in a loft commune. When Sheila explains to Alex that her loft is located in the Little Tokyo section of Los Angeles, he replies, "All those...
...both daring and first-rate. Altman has somehow made an ensemble out of a group that includes (in no particular order of significance) Lillian Gish, Pat McCormick, Howard Duff, Vittorio Gassman, Dina Merrill, Nina van Pallandt, Lauren Hutton, Mia Farrow, Geraldine Chaplin, Desi Arnaz Jr., Amy Stryker, Paul Dooley, various veterans of his stock company and a title card full of newcomers.

Although "Casablanca" has become somewhat overworked as everybody's "favorite," it's still worth seeing at least four times (more for the really hard core...
Most Receptions: 36. Although this record did not take place during the game, a word must be mentioned about the heroic postgame performance of Yale undergraduate Dooley Stegaropolis in 1972. "Dilled Dooley," as he is now known, although then a stranger to Cambridge, promptly established himself by popping into every after-game Happy Hour from Jellybeans at "Jacks" to coffee and doughnuts in Gutman Library...
...turned on his own party when he was disappointed by the conservative tendencies of his hand-picked successor, William Howard Taft. In the manner of Ronald Reagan, Roosevelt challenged a sitting President. He narrowly lost to Taft at the raucous G.O.P. Convention, which was described by Mr. Dooley as "a combination iv th' Chicago fire, St. Bartholomew's massacre, the battle iv th' Boyne, the life iv Jesse James and th' night iv th' big wind." Then T.R. formed a third party (Bull Moose) and ran in the election. By splitting the Republican vote, he enabled Democrat Woodrow Wilson...
