...base drives on both sides, Republicans and Democrats alike are keenly aware that they cannot ignore Rove's lean green line, no matter how small the number of truly independent voters. In a race as close as the one in 2000, where five states were decided by less than 1% of the vote, even tiny numbers of swing voters can be an electoral tipping point.

Doctor Zhivago retains Lawrence’s social conscience and its pitch-perfect cinematography, but, unlike Lawrence, it also possesses the compelling characters and tense, terse plotting that so distinguished Lean’s masterpieces Bridge on the River Kwai and Brief Encounter. Stars Omar Sharif and Julie Christie could not be lovelier, but supporting players Alec Guinness, Rod Steiger and especially Tom Courtenay also have ample...
