Grapenut Hill is just a half hour's walk from the center, and I got there pretty quickly. The sky had changed to its otherworldly glow of late afternoon in New England between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It makes you think winter vacation is coming up even though it's been 15 years since you had to go to school and throw spitballs. Anyway there's no winter vacation in the real world. I took a course in Zen once, but it didn't help me deal with the real world. Climbing the hill. I kept seeing people in laundromats, throwing...
Looking out across the gently rippling waves of the Mediterranean early last August. Paul Salem '83 sat on the beach of Jounieh. Lebanon in the early morning hours and watched his home, the city of Beirut, "melt under a red glow of fire.

...knockoff but as an hommage (the French pronunciation on that word, if you please) to the Old Master's late high style. The stars, Roy Scheider and Meryl Streep, are pleasing people; Nestor Almendros' carefully burnished cinematography imparts to Manhattan's streets a theatrically menacing glow that subtly transforms and romanticizes their mean reality. Writer-Director Benton, working from a story he and his onetime partner David Newman concocted a decade ago, proves to be a generally apt and tasteful student of Hitch's mature surface manner. Why, then, is Still of the Night such...
