...SHIFT TO THE RIGHT may take a while to affect housing issues, for a homeowner can support rent control without direct cost. But an increasingly large percentage of the city's elite dwell in condominiums, and it is at least possible that out of a sense of identification, they will support the right of others to purchase their apartments, a right denied under existing city legislation designed to protect the city's rental housing stock.

...dwell excessively on True Confessions' failings is to treat it--and the viewer--unfairly. De Niro alone makes the experience worthwhile.

Residents can park their planes in their front yards or in hangars-some of them two-plane models-adjacent to their houses. "When the kids ask for the keys to go out," says a resident...
Memories on the porch tend to dwell on the glory days, when Atlantic City was fixed in the national consciousness as the middle-class playground, and the "prospect of a stroll on the Boardwalk-better yet, a ride in a wicker rolling chair-warmed the days all winter long...
