Still, no player wants to stand in the wings forever, and the wait can be almost unbearable. "Will they love me? Hate me? Will I make a fool of myself? Those doubts go to bed with you, wake up with you, walk around the streets of New York with you," says Brenda Pressley of Dreamgirls. "It's a constant battle, and it can beat you if you let it." Some do let it, and along with the stories of the little understudy who could, there are legends of the little stand-ins who couldn't. Once, long...
MOST Harvard students, if invited to discuss their complaints and criticisms of undergraduate life, would probably hesitate for a moment and then offer something like. "Well, I hate getting up for my nine o'clock class," or "The heat never comes on when it's really cold" As last week's open meeting of the student-faculty committee on College life reminds us, not all students concerns are this frivolous. For Harvard's seriously disabled students, as speakers at the meeting made clear, even the most mundane details of everyday life can turn into serious problems; for them, virtually every...
...home, Interior Secretary James Watt was the man readers loved to hate. An Aug. 23 cover story on Watt and his policies, "Land Sale of the Century," set 268 mostly hostile pens to work.

But Labor has often before led in the polls and lost at the polling booths. If Fraser is the man many Australians love to hate, Hawke may be the one they are loath to embrace. The Australian Financial Review, for example, portrays Hawke as "everybody's mate, but maybe not the person to make us make the hard choices." Australians face the first such choice this week as they determine whether Hawke...
...looks are no coincidence but rather part of an elaborate send, up of what Australians love to hate-the British and the Americans. Jackie's heartless, penny-pinching pub-tending mother (Margo Lee) is a dead ringer for Margaret Thatcher. Clad in a garish polyester pants suit, she layers on the lipstick and tells Jackie, "Why don't you stop wearing those ridiculous clothes, you can't change who you are." American politicians fare no better in Armstrong's vision. One of the film's best moments features a maniacal sound booth engineer presiding over a chaotic television...
