There is a deep flaw, however, in the government's proposals. Reformation of the House of Lords would be welcome if there were a coherent plan. But strangely, the government is rushing forward with Stage 1 before even discussing Stage 2. "That will come later," we are told mysteriously. Will it? Or will the government be tempted to forget about complex constitutional reforms, so long as it has the majority it requires? When we do eventually reform what is left of the house, what will it be like? What will it do? Nobody knows. The government is unwilling even...
...little patchy in the cold light of day. NATO commander in chief General Wesley Clark met with President Milosevic Wednesday to press the Serb leader to meet the already extended deadline for withdrawing his forces -- October 12. But reports of continued fighting in the territory highlight a substantial flaw in the pact: It doesn't include the pro-independence guerrillas of the Kosovo Liberation Army.

The other great flaw of Beloved is its failure to reconcile the way in which Morrison erases the line between reality and the supernatural. On the screen, the characters treat such extraordinary occurrences as flying dishes, moving tables and spirits as a part of everyday life--this distorts the film's focus in confusing fashion...
