Serving sandwiches, cookies and cake, Gomes welcomes all members of the College for casual conversation and company. With the holiday season in full effect, he has hosted students for Thanksgiving dinner, had luncheons for visiting preachers and held dinners for the church choir...
...Already being touted as an Oscar contender for Best Actor, it is not difficult to see why. Washington just radiates in this film. From being a cocky young fighter with a past, to an embittered prisoner, to a wise guru, there is no transformation that Washington cannot effect in this movie. He has the deepest subtleties of acting to break your heart--such as his expression that seems to encapsulate all the injustice in this world when it is announced in the courtroom that he has been sentenced to three consecutive life sentences.

A strong showing by Unity, as well as the pro-Kremlin Union of Right-Wing Forces headed by former prime minister Sergei Kiriyenko, will create a solid pro-Kremlin bloc in the traditionally anti-Kremlin legislature. That's an effect primarily of the Chechnya war, although it also illustrates that Russian politics is something of a funhouse mirror to multiparty democracy. Russia's communist-era nomenklaturacontinue to compete for power among themselves in an ever-shifting series of hidden transactions, in which party politics is something of an afterthought...
