...could resist a sprightly romantic comedy on the Oedipal dilemma? As Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), a pleasant 1985-style teenager, exclaims to his shock and chagrin, "My mom has the hots for me!" This takes some explaining. Marty's pal, an aged, eccentric scientist (Christopher Lloyd), has fashioned a De Lorean car into a functioning time machine. Suddenly, Marty finds himself in 1955, in the bedroom of the 17-year-old girl (Lea Thompson) who will be his mother, if -- big if -- he can deflect her crush on him toward the nice-guy nerd (Crispin Glover) who will...
Though George seems more comfortable on the air than when she began in January (she no longer flubs lines with abandon, like referring to Andrew Lloyd Webber as the composer of Jesus Christ Superstore), she is still capable of the silly gaffe.

Thus the brutally splintered cafe tabletops anchored to the painting's surface work both as echoes of the capitals and as suggestions (presented like comic...
...tough-minded women commencement speakers, Northern Ireland's Betty Williams, co-winner of the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize, told graduating seniors at Quinnipiac College in Hamden, Conn., "Men have made enough mess of the world, and it's about time they moved over." At Texas A& M, Democratic Senator Lloyd Bentsen was more ecumenical in his exhortation: "You are our best hope for the future," he said. "Don't blow it." A sampling of the season's other commencement addresses...
Canadian-born Fred Lloyd Hartley, 68, once proclaimed, "My life and my love is Unocal." It is a love affair that goes back to May 1939, when he graduated from the University of British Columbia and came to work at Union Oil, the forerunner of Unocal, as an engineering trainee at the Oleum refinery in San Francisco. He rose quickly through the executive ranks, and has served as chief executive since December...
