...call-me-an-artist directors. And the virtues it has traditionally valued are masculine ones: energy, efficiency, power, animus, each melodramatic plot resolved with a sock to the jaw. From French films one has come to expect delicacy, grace, comradely tenderness, a ruminative intelligence. Their directors seem to inhabit an exalted sorority where girlish high spirits, sage whispers and rueful endearments reverberate in the hallways. So leave it to French Film Maker Diane Kurys to devise, in Entre Nous, a bittersweet domestic epic that reconciles feminism with femininity...
...return to Islamic purity was a two-edged sword for Nimeiri. It won him widespread popularity among Sudan's Arab Muslim majority, but it pushed his divided, impoverished nation of 22 million a step closer to civil war. Sudan's largely black, non-Muslim minorities, who inhabit the southern part of the country, had already been seething with resentment over what they regarded as persistent discrimination by the Arab-dominated central government. Encouraged by Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi and by the Marxist government of neighboring Ethiopia, pockets of armed rebellion have erupted in a number of southern regions...
...family runs a loose conglomeration of 18 firms that includes nursing homes and construction companies and a 35-acre farm. Family members drive a BMW, Lincoln Continental, Mercedes and Rolls-Royce, and live in such affluent suburbs as Sherman Oaks, Altadena and Palos Verdes Estates.

Dressed in shirt and tie and black cowboy boots, he works daily at the grocery store. He gives birthday parties for neighborhood children and often pays for their shoes and haircuts...
Foxes, who tend to inhabit universities and the State Department would treat each case as unique and see local causes and particular circumstances. In El Salvador, look at land tenure and understand the role of the army as a way for middle-class men to get rich by killing the poor. Lebanon? The 1943 national pact now underrepresented Shiite Moslems and the Druse, hence they are unhappy. With this sort of perspective, foxes see hedgehogs as ideologues likely to waste lives and money in immoral adventures. Hedgehogs see foxes as blind to the ever-present danger and willing to give...
...Hawn's daffy blond, Chevy Chase's overage preppie. Bill Murray's blitzed-out party guy. The other group-the inspired mimics who hid themselves behind the galaxy of comic characters they portrayed-looked both stretched and cramped when, in a movie, they were required to inhabit only one personality. From Sid Caesar and Carol Burnett to Lily Tomlin, Gilda Radner and Aykroyd, these performers had enough energy and scarifying talent to burst out of the small screen, but lacked the strong, smooth identities that Hollywood could package as star quality...
