...question before us is: When exactly did Jonathan Demme lose his sense of humor? Back in the '70s and '80s he was the best - or at any rate the most promising - young American director. He had a taste for American eccentrics, for the vagaries of life on the American road, and a talent that extended beyond fictional features to concert films and documentaries.

Still, the market collapse on the same day that the vote came down concerned her. "I've got money in the market, and I don't want to lose my money. [My husband and I are] retired, and I really don't want to go back to work - but if I lose all my retirement funds on Wall Street, I will probably have to.
