...I.O.C. was so captivated by Athens' past that it overlooked the city's present. It had no modern infrastructure, a serious domestic-terrorism problem, a limp economy and a labor force best described as mercurial. Indeed, three years after winning its bid for the Games, Athens had accomplished nothing in terms of venue construction, security or strategic planning. In April 2000, Juan Antonio Samaranch, then president of the I.O.C., described Athens as the worst organizational crisis in his 20-year career...
...mirror to the nation so it could inspect its own morality and yet survive the shattered image. Clinton's legacy will be much more than an attack on the moneyed right. His work in the field of AIDS through his foundation is more useful than George W. Bush's limp efforts.

...Coen brothers’ limp remake of a classic Alec Guinness comedy has its occasional laughs, but ends up becoming boring in its pursuit of essentially sweet comedy. Tom Hanks is the leader of a gang of robbers forced to masquerade as a band in order to rent church-lady Irma P. Hall’s basement because it connects to the basement of their target. Although the Coens’ affection for southern tradition is sweet and the manic third act brings things up a notch, it isn’t enough to save this essentially mediocre film...
