...idiot, boy loses girl, boy and girl get back together. Streisand, however, adds her own 90's twist--no sex. This little curveball does exactly nothing to divert the film from the romantic formula, but, aside from discouraging most of the male audience, it does accomplish one other significant feat: It makes the movie a whole hell of a lot funnier...

...specter of economic retaliation--and the fact that Texaco executives were caught red-handed using racially insulting language as they discussed the destruction of evidence--that motivated Texaco chairman Peter I. Bijur to perform the most spectacular flip-flop since Kerri Strug's Olympic showstopper. In a textbook feat of corporate damage control, he agreed last week to spend $176 million to end the lawsuit filed by black employees whom Texaco has been stonewalling for years.

...exists; this is especially true of the range of cultures outside the West, both old and modern, such as Aboriginal Australia, Oceania or ancient Egypt. The discussion of Japanese art, from its earliest beginnings to the 20th century, extends to 431 pages, and it is a brilliant feat of compression even at that length, without a wasted word. Moreover, every major subject has multiple entry points: individual artists, schools, national origin, techniques and so on. There's no art publication in existence that gives the reader such richness of detail and coherence of organization...
