...idea of Ryan as the comedian who copyrighted Cute is too limiting; she has dark tones in her palette as well. She's done terrific work as down-and-outers in Flesh and Bone and When a Man Loves a Woman and as the body-snatched bride in Prelude to a Kiss. The lovely wrapping is still there-but beneath it, the hint of fervid desperation, of a deep wound she both hides and nurses...
...same sensibility that recorded the nameless piles of human bodies in The Disasters of War. This is the realization of the inevitability of death that the older vanitas paintings set out as metaphor, but here it is concrete and direct, inscribed in every molecule of sad flesh. One realizes that Goya could see and feel more death in some mutton than Rubens could put in a whole Crucifixion...
Still, there was also a willingness to try to heal thorns in the flesh. Arizona Senator John McCain proposed that the Senate Judiciary Committee hold hearings into the 1993 siege of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, a shared emblem of pain among antigovernment zealots.

In an article in the May issue of the religious journal First Things, Dean Kelley, a respected legal scholar, reviews the records of the siege and questions the need...
...PARAPHRASE OF MY REMARKS IMPLIED that I said New Testament writers distinguished between "flesh and spirit." While they do make this distinction, I intended to contrast flesh and body--an important if complex distinction.

He describes the Resurrection of the body as a "spiritual body" rather than a physical body (I Corinthians 15:44). In the last analysis, I am willing to remain agnostic about the precise form that Jesus' Resurrection took, as I implied to your...
Ronnie's foil is Kilmartin's baby sitter, Rosie (Katheryn Erbe). It would be easy to choke on this character's banal perfection, but Erbe somehow manages to flesh out a real person. While Rosie is usually too good to take, we are nevertheless swayed by Erbe's performance. Also noteworthy is Ving Rhames, who people may recognize as the band-aid wearing Marsalis from "Pulp Fiction." Here, like Jackson, he thrives on material more sophisticated than Tarantino's comicbook style...
