...wonderful folktale--at once pungently earthy and dreamily fantastic. It unfolds to the leisurely rhythms of its own peculiar inner life and logic. It's a magical film, where the horrors of war, the crude beauty and humor of everyday existence, and the wonder of childhood all intersect in a flash of dream and memory...
...beat the Red Sox in seven memorable games. You see, Rose is a sentimentalist. "More than any other, that series lifted baseball, showed people how great it could be," says Rose. And Yaz nods: "Without a doubt, it moved people." If 1975 is the point where Rose and Yaz intersect, they also come together at All-Star games, a mortifying subject to American Leaguers after 19 losses in the past 20 games. Though the National League has always been more progressive in matters of race, it seems too simple an explanation to say that the Nationals cornered all the Willies...
...January 20, 1981, two sagas intersect. A few minutes before noon, as spectators on Capitol Hill cluster around portable radios to hear the latest news of the American hostages' release.

As for Nicholson, he shows again that he can embody as much of the 20th century American male-sexy, psychotic...
...members of the troika, in contrast, are in effect?though not in title?three Chiefs of Staff. The duties and powers of the three men are ill defined; they overlap and intersect at a thousand points. The personalities differ in substantive ways. Meese, a cautious lawyer and the most conservative of the troika, specializes in summarizing conflicting arguments without committing himself. Baker, also a lawyer, is a hard-driving organizer with finely tuned political instincts. Deaver, an affable former public relations consultant, is concerned, above all, with the welfare and comfort of the First Family. Californians Meese and Deaver have...
