...Horton Foote's screenplay, derived from a legendary teleplay and a theatrical adaptation of it more than three decades ago, is all fragile moods and memories. Director Peter Masterson's style, however, is crushingly realistic. And Page is overwhelming in the worst sense of the word, a steamroller of tics, tricks and mannerisms. She is being mentioned for an Oscar nomination--it would be her eighth--and since she is doing enough acting to fill at least that many pictures right here, she may get it. That her highly theatrical style has almost nothing to do with the craft...
...human-rights report accuses them of using that force against the country's ethnic-minority populations. Released last week, "Dying Alive: A Legal Assessment of Human Rights in Burma" is 600 pages long and was three years in the making. The author is British human-rights researcher Guy Horton, who was inspired to do the study by his friend, British academic Michael Aris, the late husband of pro-democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi. Produced with funds from the Dutch government and non profit organizations, the report draws on material collected from Horton's own trips to Burma plus...

If that is the iconic attack ad, this is the ultimate embrace--to remind voters of the protectiveness they cherished in the President after Sept. 11. The ad has been ready since...
...doing well in the polls. That fall, however, pro-Bush forces deftly used wedge issues--particularly crime and the specter of encroaching liberalism--to cleave white working-class voters from the Democratic Party. The nastiest and most effective '88 political ad featured the hardened visage of convict William Horton, a murderer who had fled Massachusetts during a prison furlough and then stabbed a man and raped his fiancé. Republicans said Dukakis had turned his state's prison gates into "a revolving door." Dukakis pointed out that he had actually ended the furlough program, but his protest was late and languid...
...April 1955, over two years after Sperry’s retirement, Pusey announced the selection of Douglas Horton, Minister of the General Council of Congregational Churches, as the new dean. With a background in a movement committed to promoting unity among different Christian denominations, Horton fit in with Pusey’s vision for a Divinity School faculty that represented a greater diversity of religious traditions...
