...production notes insist that The Legend of Bagger Vance is not a golf movie. Sure, the focus on golf provides a neat metaphor for the struggles and rewards of life, and the character of Bagger himself is a walking metaphor-a caddy who helps a golfer find his way. But at its core, Bagger Vance is a serious exploration of the search for meaning in life (in other words, this ain't Tin Cup). Bagger says it best when he explains to Hardy that inside every person is something that belongs to him alone-an "authentic swing" which...
...word is "capitulation." The bloodbath of bloodbaths, in which investors tear their hair out and run shrieking from the room. Traders insist that while there has been tech overselling this month - overselling that was drawing buyers Tuesday - it just doesn't feel like it's run its course. Not to mention that every one of NASDAQ's 5 percent days has been met with selling soon after...
...while the leaders around Arafat, in between saber-rattling, insist that peace talks can be resumed if the Israelis withdraw their forces to their pre-September 27 deployments, those leading from the street, such as Fatah activist Marwan Barghouti, insist they'll fight on until Israel has fully withdrawn from the West Bank and Gaza.

And these days, post-Columbine and Eminem, the popular culture seems to have become the principle "enemy-of-the-children," with everyone from Lynne Cheney to our would-be moralist-in-chief, Connecticut Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, inveighing against the filth and obscenity peddled to America under the cloak of "free speech" and "artistic expression." This rhetoric...
...agreements, low crime rates and newly protected wilderness areas. "This race is about the future," he stammered instead. "President Clinton is my friend... But I'm not satisfied. I'm running on who I am and on my own." Gore denies friction with his White House partner, and aides insist they're not worried about being tied to the Clinton scandals, but the Vice President's chilly feelings for Clinton are palpable. The man who negotiated for weekly lunches with the President when he was being invited on the ticket now makes an effort to insist the two aren...
