...Mermaids and Addams Family days. As for Johansson, the suspicion lingers that there was always a voluptuous woman waiting to burst out of her pre-teen roles. The few extra pounds she carries, in an era when curves are denounced as baby fat, give her the anachronistic, grown-up glamour of a Rita Hayworth. She photographs as mature beyond her years, which makes her a favorite of directors like Woody Allen and critics like me.

When the young Hillary Rodham and Bill Clinton labored here, the Texas G.O.P. had grown to an asterisk. A person needed a sharp eye to see that the cracks in the Democratic monolith would topple it within a generation. The reasons could fill a book.
