...stuck in some personal theater, far removed from the film. And for all his furious energy, he is completely cramped by his own style. We can only agree when Fitzcarraldo shouts.

Eckart is believed to have a slight edge, but the race is very close. The district's congressional seat has been in Republican hands for 20 years, but that has been largely due to the popularity of Representative J. William Stanton, 58, who is retiring because of poor health. Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 34% to 21%. Says State Republican Chairman Michael Colley: "It's a horse race...
