...catch that little-noted stunner in the midst of last week's Whitewater drone? If you were glued to the congressional hearings, to the repudiated diaries, sworn contradictions and "I don't recalls," you may have missed it. A year after the suicide of deputy White House counsel Vincent Foster, the Administration admitted that its previous accounts about the search of Foster's office following his death were, as the Nixonites used to say, inoperative.

...film, everyone in the audience is not only familiar with the nuances of pre-electric lighting but feel that they have experienced it first hand. The movie grates constantly on the ear as well. Coughing, pickaxes, water pouring and children's sobbing provide a constant drone which all else must surmount to be heard...
