...State, began confirmation hearings Wednesday before a friendly Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "It's been a real love-fest" reports TIME diplomatic correspondent Dean Fischer after the first day of hearings. Having served four years as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and proven herself an expert on European affairs, Albright is well known to the committee, but today's hearing provided senators with a chance to explore Albright's positions issue by issue. As the woman who delivered the head of former U.N. Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Albright enjoys broad support from Congressional Republicans -- especially committee chairman...
Paris in the early 1980s turned out to be the perfect place to study AIDS. The patients were men, women, European, African. So few were homosexual that French doctors were not that distracted by the idea that this was a "gay plague." To them, it was merely a sexually transmitted disease. So they turned to Dr. Montagnier, a noted virologist at the Pasteur Institute, to find the cause. By 1983 his team had isolated a new human retrovirus. Their results, published in Science, were largely ignored. Then, in 1984, Dr. Robert Gallo announced that he had discovered the virus. Only...
That was Mastroianni: the postheroic hero, defining the European male in all his charm, complexity, failure.

And when the film is finished, I am looking for another film. Otherwise my life is a little more bored...
This is, perhaps, a commendable ambition. But it is also a mannered, distancing and irritating one. Campion's style is not helpful in involving us in one of James' most admired variations on his most basic theme: an innocent young American confused and seduced by wily European sophisticates. Neither is the near catatonic coolness with which Nicole Kidman plays a woman whose impulses toward self-definition are balanced (or unbalanced) by equally strong impulses toward self-destruction...
There was a glaring omission in your article on roadsters: the Miata. Introduced in 1989, it led the resurgence of the roadster. The Japanese, with the aid of a brilliant group of American designers, gave us back a true European-style sports car, the Miata, with one important extra: dependability.
