...century. This documentary shows the making of war through his eyes, from the Cuban Missile Crisis through the Vietnam War. The documentary, directed by genre master Errol Morris (Fast, Cheap and Out of Control) utilizes frank White House tapes, startlingly surreal images, and an extraordinary Philip Glass score to engross an audience that may otherwise have little interest in the subject matter. Morris never compromises his vision of McNamara as a man whose regret has opened floodgates of wisdom (upon hearing one of the admonitions apparently directed at the current administration, an audience member actually began clapping), but who remains...

And then, just as Summers was making up to the Af-Am Department under the mistletoe, the Katz Committee snuck in to keep things interesting until exams...
Fortunately, since we spend our time combing the performances for clues, the actors know to engross us with their characters and yet still leave us hanging. Rabbit brings Meg to new lows in ditzoid blowsiness, to such an extent that she sometimes doesn't appear to know to be afraid when she is threatened.
