...Crimson produced this run by beating the Marauders at what they did worst. Harvard forced run-loving McMaster to work out of a half-court offense--the Marauders were mis-matched and were forced into many turnovers. On the offensive end, McMaster had to extend its guards and forwards to cover Harvard's three-point shooters, which opened up lanes for easy layups...
That outcome was virtually assured last week when Republicans loaded up two stopgap bills, one to continue government spending and another to extend borrowing authority, with extra provisions they knew the President would not accept. The question now becomes who will bend after what will probably be a series of presidential vetoes. Emboldened by polls showing public opinion running nearly 2 to 1 against the G.O.P. budget, Clinton aides believe, as senior adviser George Stephanopoulos says, that "the bottom is falling out for the Republicans."

But this is not, finally, a movie that encourages such abstract considerations. It is all shameless pace and jostle, a compendium of evil (war, suicide, poverty, injustice, exploitation) that yet asks us to believe that common decency (and a strong back) can eventually triumph over it. Maybe so, maybe not. But how pretty it is to believe...
