...Although she is middle-aged, and maybe a bit lonely as well, White is too self-possessed to fall for this road-company Andy Griffith. Still, she does begin to think he may be innocent of murder. That impression grows when his girlfriend turns up. She is young and gorgeous, and as empty-headed as a golden retriever pup. Or so it seems, as she backs up her man with a series of contradictory stories. But she is also very tall, and the prints of her large hands, it develops, are all over the victim's home. Suspicion shifts...
...historians the artworks are much more than gorgeous museum pieces. If the Olmec ever had a written language, all traces of it have disappeared. Even their bones are gone, rotted long ago in the humid rain forest. Virtually everything that scholars know about them is based on the remains of cities and on comparisons between their artifacts and imagery and those of later civilizations. It isn't surprising, therefore, that while the experts have plenty of theories about the Olmec's origins, social structure and religion, few of these ideas are universally accepted...
...face like a cantaloupe, and he can't act." Both slurs were accurate. Doug's full-moon face and double chin made him a long shot for movie swoondom; and in closeup his stage-bred gestures looked like cheerleader antics.

As played by Donna Murphy (steely presence, gorgeous voice) and Lou Diamond Phillips (who eventually shrugs off the shroud of Yul Brynner), Anna and the King are each emotionally isolated--she as a widow and a foreigner, he as a man bred to a belief in his own infallibility. When they finally, lightly touch in the majestic Shall We Dance...
...laugh at all your River friends who have walk-throughs while you luxuriate in spacious singles. Sure, it's far away, but it's nice to actually go home at the end of the day and feel like you're home; the neighborhood north of the Quad is gorgeous, with many old houses and tree-lined streets. Porter Square is 10 minutes away, with 24-hour Dunkin' Donuts, CVS and Star Market; the grassy Quad itself is great for picnics and frisbee...
