...least Bell has a shot. Most of the two dozen other wannabes are in the race so they can get a "real" job. Or at least an indoor job, as in the case of Republican Roberto Marsili, a stone mason who boasts of an eighth-grade diploma. Democrat A. Robert Kaufman, an intelligent, balding man whose socialist solutions prompted an opponent to call him Lenin, campaigns nonstop and doesn't seem to have a paycheck to miss. The Rev. Jessica Davis, who refers to herself in the third person as either "Jessica Davis" or "the next mayor of Baltimore," says...
...tears are an apt response: the two most innocent characters die; the others grieve and carry on womanfully. At the center of the film is Manuela (Cecilia Roth, in a heroically clenched performance), who goes to Barcelona looking for her ex-husband and ends up mothering half a dozen lost souls. She is Mother Courage, Mother Teresa and your mom on her very best day. But All About My Mother also gives the viewer reasons to laugh and cheer.

For their part, a group of players, which one league official numbered at 16 but an owner told the Times was more than two dozen, avoided a potential year-long suspension...
...drug cases ? the tapes give the first public confirmation of something players and owners have privately been saying for years: That alcohol abuse is a far bigger problem than illegal drugs in the league. Union assistant executive director Doug Allen is seen on tape noting that there were "a dozen alcohol situations" in the previous year. Still, although the league does watch players for signs of alcohol abuse, few players and no real stars have faced sanctions as tough as what the National Basketball Association gave the Dallas Mavericks' center Roy Tarpley, who was repeatedly suspended and eventually kicked...
