Over and over, the comfortable affection at the beginning of an episode is tested and twisted by fate. In Decalogue, Four (Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother), Anka, a pretty young actress who flirtatiously dotes on her father, finds a letter from her mother, who died just after the girl's birth. This man is not her father! The physical closeness the man and girl shared, natural when paternal, is now replayed in Anka's mind as an erotic mating dance. Did he feel that way too? she asks him in a love scene of wondrous and creepy intimacy...

An hour or so before he and Clinton were to begin their image-setting joint press conference, a Chinese official walked up to McCurry and asked to talk about the arrangements. It's important to get them right, he said, "because...
Denise Jones lives in the same state as Graceland, but she has chosen a pilgrimage in honor of a princess, not the King. "I've collected dolls, books, articles, ceramics--all kinds of things relating to Diana--since 1981," says the 25-year-old health-care-management student from Knoxville, Tenn. "I have a special room in my house for them all." Last week Jones was at Diana's house in England, among the first to enter Althorp, the ancestral estate of the Spencers, the aristocratic clan of the late Princess of Wales. Her brother Charles, Earl Spencer, has thrown...
