...have yourself a nice thriller set up, with Wolfgang Petersen directing hot off Air Force One and no less than Mel Gibson in the starring role, when--oops!--Mel decides he'd rather go elsewhere to do a pet project called Parker and then cash in on a ton of money by making Lethal Weapon IV for Warner...

...expect no less of Bonham Carter, who has been a source of posh insolence since her 1985 screen debut as the teen-age Queen of England in Lady Jane. She is our modern antique goddess--a balky Ophelia, for instance, to Mel Gibson's Hamlet. But it is in the early 20th century that her sweet imperiousness has been put to smartest use; she has made no fewer than four films based on E.M. Forster novels (A Room with a View, Maurice, Where Angels Fear to Tread and Howards End). She finds the age attractive--"Women tend...

...University must make it clear that is disapproves of any murderous regime--including Jiang's. If Jiang comes to Harvard, University administrators should not allow him to avoid the question and answer period everyone from Yasser Arafat to Mel Gibson has agreed to.

In addition, Harvard should...

Butte legislator Joe Quilici, one of the sponsors, has all but conceded. And Bob Gibson has editorialized against a new speed limit in the Billings Gazette. "We already have one that says there are times when 35 might be prudent and times when 90 is prudent," he says. What more could a man ask? (At night, the limit is 65.) Governor Marc Racicot, for one, wants a new speed limit, but doesn't expect it to happen anytime soon. Montanans are not nut-case antigovernment types, he says, a tad sensitive about the militia thing that captured so many headlines...

...Billboard classical chart last week was The Vienna I Love (Philips), a collection of waltzes, marches and snippets from familiar operas, performed by Andre Rieu, a Dutch violinist who looks a bit like Mel Gibson. At No. 8 was Rieu's From Holland with Love. Poised just below the chart was his newest release, Strauss Gala. This impressive lineup has made Rieu, at least for the moment, one of the hottest acts in classical music--rivaling Luciano Pavarotti, Kathleen Battle, even David Helfgott, whose recording of Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto returned to the top spot, ending the Dutchman...
