...friends and I have heard people talking about the film in restaurants and museums, at parties and on the subway. This is not just the kind of movie that will get people seeing it to catch up with the tastemaker crowd; it's the uncommoner kind that will lure people who, given what they've heard, are expecting to hate it. They'll see it so they can join the debate, if only to say It wasn't that good...
...Boston. “As the relationship got deeper it felt like she was becoming more of a part of who I was,” says Huang.Two years after their first date, Huang surprised Lee with a bouquet of 24 roses. After a few mishaps, he managed to lure her to the Weeks Footbridge, where he dropped to one knee and proposed, presenting Lee with his grandmother’s engagement ring. “I was so nervous that I still had my backpack on,” says Huang, laughing at the awkward, book-bag-accessorized...

...Falwell's views on that would change. By the mid-1970s, he was big enough to lure the attention of Jimmy Carter, who was openly courting faith- minded voters in his own campaign for president. But Falwell cooled on Carter and within a year or two of his election turned hostile. In 1979, he started the Moral Majority, partly at the urging of two Republican political consultants. In 1980, Falwell moved the organization behind Ronald Reagan, buying anti-Carter ads on tiny radio stations across the South and Midwest...
