...attending the three-day course, held monthly at the cozy medieval Lickleyhead Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, it can feel like they are, quite literally, learning to walk all over again. Everyday situations such as eating dinner become a minefield of possible faux pas. But within an hour Mather has them properly scooping their soup ("Away from yourself, so as not to splash the tie") and daintily adding salt on the side, rather than dousing the entire dish ("Do you think you're in a trucker's café?"). The gentlemen are schooled in public speaking, networking, deportment, dancing and wine...
...concern, then one might imagine that the Marshals and state police would find it more effective to extradite Entwistle in secret—outside of the media spotlight—and transport him to jail in an unmarked vehicle. Although it may be difficult in this era of 24-hour cable news to withhold information from the media, if President Bush was able to fly secretly to Iraq for Thanksgiving, this hardly seems too complex a task. In actuality, there can be little doubt that the whole event was consciously choreographed to appease the myriad local, national, and even international...

The dozen-plus major characters include cops, thugs, politicians, strugglers and stragglers, the rich and the poor of all ethnicities--the melting pot that bubbles over in the film's schematic, 36-hour story line. The viewpoint is Manichaean--black and white, if you will--but with a twist. Haggis says not that there are good people and bad people, but that we are all capable of being both. A racist cop (Oscar nominee Matt Dillon) can rudely grope a terrified black woman...
Anyone who has seen the cinematic masterpiece, “Ace Ventura, Pet Detective,” will agree that if Dan Marino had simply followed the crucial advice of “laces out!” during his football game, the two-hour-long saga would not have ensued. I may not be intimately associated with all the particular details of your dilemmas, but I will hopefully be able to give “laces out” on-the-ball advice...
