...finance machine. As an incumbent with high approval ratings, no need to run for office again, and an eye on his place in history, Clinton has become Washington's most conspicuous and sweaty convert to the cause of campaign-finance reform. So how much more hopeful does that eternally hopeless cause become...
Carswell's further discussion of the O.A. is quite to the point--he himself realizes its superiority to any E., however A. His illustration includes one of the key "Wake Up the Grader" phrases--"It is absurd." What force! What gall! What fun! "Ridiculous," "hopeless," "nonsense," on the one hand; "doubtless," "obvious," "unquestionable," on the other, will have the same effect.

Barbra has had a patent pending on this role for decades, and she plays it with ease and style and old-fashioned Jewish humor...
...into the distance, pining for someone who will know what type of toothpaste she uses, or how she likes her salad, with bad jazz surging from the Dolby THX surround-sound system and half the people in the theater moaning like they just had bad Chinese. For those hopeless romantics with the huge hearts and the iron stomachs, "The Mirror Has Two Faces" is definitely worth it. But for mere mortals, it may be a bit much to bear...
