...enter into Geoffrey Beene's one and only shop, located on a relatively unhurried patch of Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, is to experience one man's extraordinary sense of rebellion and restraint. A small fraction of the size of the grand retail showplaces that line Madison Avenue one block to the east (Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani), Beene's store, which he visits daily, isn't meant to stand as a monument to its creator. At 70, Beene, unlike his peers, offers no secondary, lower-priced line (his clothes range from $1,500 to more than $10,000), no logoed handbags...

...Newspapers will be more personalized. The average reader of a newspaper reads a fraction of all of the content contained in each edition. This translates to lots of wasted paper. Currently paper costs are low and personalization costs are high so this waste can exist. But as the technology develops, newspapers will be able to print different editions that cater to individual tastes. This trend has already begun as newspapers have developed regional editions with varying content.

...directorial estrangement goes far beyond his own character. Through both his writing and directing, Allen systematically destroys any chance for his lead actresses, specifically Judy Davis and Kirstie Alley, to do any acting at all. Instead, he forces them into ugly, pathetic, caricatured roles not worthy of a fraction of their talent. Davis, a brilliant actress, is wasted as the strung-out, borderline-psychotic ex who comes to Harry's apartment looking for retribution. In Allen's 1992 Husbands and Wives, she delivered a devastatingly accurate performance in a not dissimilar role; here, she may as well be Sabrina...
