CHRIS WEBBER loves the people of Sacramento. He just hates Sacramento. If that sounds like twisted logic, you've obviously never been to the home of America's best basketball fans--and hey, how 'bout that California State Railroad Museum? Nonetheless, after complaining for three years about how he was "bored to death" in California's capital and noting the conspicuous lack of both soul food and soul brothers in the area, the NBA's most sought-after free agent re-signed with the Sacramento Kings. "I know he was saying it was boring, and that stuff about the food...
...Tricaud is right, the chase will be over. DiBenedetto, after finally bagging his quarry, will watch Einhorn disappear into the Impressionist painting in which he has lived for the past four years. And the charmed Einhorn, convicted of a horrific murder, will have won a sentence that defies logic and human consideration: Life in the south of France...
...abandonment of common sense is not an exclusively French problem. But it is disturbing to find the French courts affirming Nazi principles of eugenics. The decision savors of Vichy.

...suspense once cited the master of literary suspense, Edgar Allan Poe, as his guru: "I can't help comparing what I've tried to put in my films with what Edgar Allan Poe put in his tales: a completely believable story told to the readers with such a spellbinding logic that you get the impression that the same thing could happen to you tomorrow." In The Man Who Knew Too Much, the murder coincides with a cymbal clash during a night at the symphony; in Rear Window Jimmy Stewart suspects that a murder has taken place across the courtyard from...
