...November 1995 in this space, I wrote a scathing piece about the Harvard Shuttle Services. I cursed the powers-that-be for forcing me to walk to Currier House after waiting for shuttles that never came and hanging on the line for Escort Service operators who never picked up. Following the appearance of that column, General Manager of Tranport Services Peter Witt kindly called to discuss my concerns. Since then, thanks to Witt's Herculean efforts, only a handful of shuttles have plain not showed...
...powerful rendition of "America the Beautiful," and the verse of Arkansas poet Miller Williams. During the day that is set aside every four years to celebrate Democracy's peaceful transition of power, tensions that have plagued Washington momentarily disappeared. Speaker Gingrich led a delegation of GOP leaders in helping escort Clinton to the podium, then praised him good-naturedly in the President's traditional post-Inauguration visit to the Hill.

But Clinton noted with pride that so far the multiplying probes of the Administration "have spent $30 million or something, and there's not a single solitary shred of evidence of any wrongdoing on my part."

...play, filmed by Jerry Zaks, is an old-fashioned weepie of noble mien with many bright moments and a superb cast. It's a tonic to see Keaton making sense of sanctity, DiCaprio refusing to sentimentalize a disturbed teenager. The impossible challenge goes to Streep; she's supposed to escort Lee on a forced march from belligerence into family harmony. "How can one sister be so good and the other so bad?" asks Aunt Ruth. The answer: careless writing. The movie is so unfair to Lee that one roots for her to stay stubborn and blinkered. But that...
