...Israeli fort on Tel Shams commands a broad valley that runs eastward toward Damascus. From the hills, when the morning haze lifts, strong glasses bring the capital into view. In the past, Israeli cannon around Tel Shams had shattered Damascus windowpanes. But now, turning their backs on Syria, the last Israeli troops were ready to head west out of the territory they had seized in October's costly counteroffensive...
...just read too many novels, like Madame Bovary; he has read too many novels like Madame Bovary. He is condemned to work out the hassles of his marriage in a long, unfinished and unfinishable novel.

Both give excellent performances, but Duvall particularly makes...
While Radcliffe women receive Harvard degrees, it is misleading to say that Radcliffe is but a part of Harvard. Out of the haze of the Radcliffe "agreement" with Harvard, a number of programs such as Education for Action survive with three "retained functions" outstanding: the Radcliffe Institute, Financial Aid and Women's Education. "Retained functions" means that Radcliffe staffs these programs, determines their policies, and, significantly, foots the bill...
