...nice muddle, especially since Wasserstein provides the couple with all kinds of complications. She has rich, interfering relatives (Alan Alda and the divinely bitchy Allison Janney). He soon has a new gay flame (Amo Gulinello) whose worldly-wise longtime companion (wonderfully portrayed by Nigel Hawthorne) gets hurt as hard as Nina does. But it's also too much of a muddle. There is no logical way to arrange the kind of romantic reconciliation the writer, director (Nicholas Hytner) and we desperately want to enjoy.

...Solidarity would not die, and Walesa remained its symbol. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983. With support from the Pope and the U.S., he and his colleagues in the underground leadership of Solidarity kept the flame alight, until the advent of Mikhail Gorbachev in the Kremlin brought new hope. In 1988 there was another occupation strike in the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk, which Walesa again joined--though this time as the grand old man among younger workers.

Meanwhile, Guns N' Roses added some sin to the power ballad with the more violent "Sweet Child O' Mine" though keeping the music loud and clear. In 1989, Bad English, led by a former Journey member, gave us the masterful "When I See You Smile," and Roxette released the shallow yet potent "Listen to Your Heart...
Investors are courting an old flame: bond mutual funds. But how sincere are their intentions? The relationship sputtered in 1994, when bond funds logged their worst year in six decades and investors fled the church in a panic. Now they're back for another fling. In January net new cash flowing into bond funds surged to an estimated $11.5 billion--the most since August 1993. The disturbing thing is that people probably don't understand this fickle mate any better today than they...
