Recalling that in an interview with CNN in May 1996 he had the "audacity to challenge conventional wisdom [by stating] that within two to three years Suharto will be gone," he attributed the ex-president's recent fall on rampant corruption, crony capitalism and on the flawed policies of the Indonesian government...
...SHOSHANNA LONSTEIN's television appearances have been limited to broadcasts of Emmy Awards pre-shows, where she could be seen adorning the arm of (now ex-) boyfriend Jerry Seinfeld. But her lack of tube time is no deterrent to TV Guide, which next week will feature a four-page article on Lonstein discussing her new resort-wear line called, appropriately, Shoshanna. TV Guide's rationale for highlighting Lonstein, according to senior editor Lisa Bernhard, is that "America first got to know Shoshanna through her relationship with one of the biggest TV stars of the past 30 years.

As I said, disputation seems insolent in the case of this film, but in this mediocre summer, even the best films bore compromises that were hard to ignore. Nicholas...
...Changed my Plea to Guilty" is symptomatic of Morrissey's unsuccessful departure from his more rewarding roots. A Tori Amos wannabe crudely whales chord progressions in the background while Morrissey croons about "emotional air-raids" and the like. One can imagine Morrissey the ex-diva, a martini in his hand, reclining on the piano in a seedy bar, bemoaning his existence. Oh, Morrissey, you're brooding enough already--give us a beat to leave the ballads to the groomed women in the Top 40 who know what they are doing...
