Meanwhile, Culkin himself acts precociously. He realizes that casual deadpan in a ten-year-old looks far more sinister than sidelong glances and wicked cackles, and so plays it straight. Culkin's calm in turn forms the perfect foil to the frenzied indignation of Wood, his fearless adversary. Splattered with tomato juice, frenetically pumping squash down the disposal, Wood manages to look far more twisted and dangerous than Culkin ever does. The dynamic of this role-reversal, excellently acted by both Wood and Culkin, generates all the tension in the film. The pair carries the production; all other players...
...cliquish Arabs were sometimes viewed with suspicion by their Afghan brothers, who sensed that the volunteers had a wider agenda. Even so, their zeal in combat amazed even the fearless Afghans. "The Arabs were crazy fighters, charging into any fire," recalls Ahmed Muwafak Zaidan, a Syrian writer who covered the war. An Egyptian scholar in Pakistan remembers Abouhalima and conspiracy defendant Siddig Ibrahim Siddig Ali as "very good commanders who fought in various provinces" of Afghanistan...

Despite Toscani's stance as a fearless realist, this Don Giovanni's catalog in Cibachrome is aesthetically inert, and after five minutes about as shocking as a mural of human elbows might be. Nevertheless, it wins (hairs-down, as it were) over Gianfranco Gorgoni's similar photomural in the Italian pavilion, which shows only women's genitals...
...loyal opposition has whispered that he is "chairman by fluke." Even Democrats were stunned when former committee chairman Lloyd Bentsen accepted the job as Secretary of the Treasury, which moved Moynihan to the mountaintop, an unproven leader. In fact, Moynihan is the Senate's most eccentric, brilliant and fearless purveyor of uncomfortable truth. He has probably shaped as much national social and economic policy in his 32 years in Washington in various jobs as any other person. "He may be viewed as a kind of Ivy League Throttlebottom," declared a wary admirer, "but he is formidable -- and absolutely necessary...
