That much most women already knew. But, continues Wulsin, "once lengthened by tension, these fibrous connections (Cooper's suspensory ligaments*) do not resume youthful dimensions, and despite hopeful legend, no amount of exercise will restore pristine mammary profile...
...sure Dealing isn't without a certain local interest. For example, as John the rich aesthete, John Litgow '67 is involved in a gentle take-off of the high-handed theatrics of Tim Mayer, fellow Harvard graduate, accomplished theater director, and local legend. And--of even more parochial interest--is the fact that the design of John's bedroom has been at least partly inspired by that of Frank Rich, a former contributor to these pages.

The cops speak a special kind of cinematic tough talk. Exit lines sound like clever phrases the messieurs Fink have spent weeks sweating out. The speech of a policeman's wife takes a few perfunctory swipes at social commentary, but the film's heart is elsewhere, splashing in the gore...
