From the gold-rush camps and Hollywood to the flower children and Silicon Valley, California has long been the place where the newest manifestations of the American dream first sprouted. In Orange County, the dream seems to be driven by the lure of both success and excess. With 42 miles of beckoning oceanfront, this California-style Riviera is a 38-sq.-mi. wedge of land stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Santa Ana Mountains and harboring the thriving towns of Newport Beach (pop. 67,000), Costa Mesa (88,000) and Irvine (89,000). It includes a constellation of some...

...menacing scourge is verdant bounty as far as the eye can see in the nation's midsection and diminishing markets for the rich harvests. Dan Rather and his combat jacket have long ago left the hogpens to report on other worldly terrors, like the wedding of Andy and Fergie. Hollywood's Jessica Lange and Country are wilted memories. Farm foreclosures are too common to rate as pop drama any longer...

...there is hope. It will not be long before he is back working in a medium in which he can be fully creative." Ambler's account effectively ends after World War II: the next forty years are barely mentioned. From then on the author spent too many years in Hollywood handing his work over to others. Here Lies is a dark and witty title, but not perhaps the most apt. That was already taken by Malcolm Muggeridge for his autobiography. He called it Chronicles of Wasted Time...

...these opposites attracted to each other? Not because Rachel is a food writer and Mark is a Washington columnist. But because, up there on the screen, Rachel is Meryl Streep, swathed in easy glamour, and Mark is that cuddly predator Jack Nicholson. Heartburn is a movie about old- fashioned Hollywood star quality -- the sort that, say, Irene Dunne and Cary Grant radiated almost 50 years ago in another love-and-divorce comedy, The Awful Truth -- and about how the glow of celebrity can blind anyone, especially a spouse, to the black hole of secret sins. What woman doesn't want...

...author of Heartburn was born knowing about star quality and its discontents; she is the daughter of Screenwriters Phoebe and Henry Ephron, who put funny endearments into the mouths of Tracy and Hepburn (Desk Set) and adapted Carousel for Hollywood. In Mike Nichols, Ephron fille has found the perfect director for her skewering humor. Once he invigorated cabaret comedy as half of the Nichols and May team; now he orchestrates the romantic abrasions of Nicholson-Streep and the nifty cameos of Steven Hill as Rachel's flighty dad and John Wood as a nightmare Alistair Cooke. Generous and precise, Nichols...
