...early '70s, Holly Maddux, beautiful Bryn Mawr alum, met Ira Einhorn, charming social activist. Ira, Holly soon learned, was also an abusive womanizer. Eventually her rotting corpse was found in his apartment. Having fled the U.S. for Ireland, Einhorn was finally tried in absentia and found guilty of murder. (He's currently in France, where he is appealing extradition.) Out of this intricate, unsettling story has come a flat, ponderous miniseries. The pace is maddeningly sluggish, and Kevin Anderson generates too little of the charisma that the real Einhorn must have possessed...
...past may have finally caught up with the Unicorn. Counterculture guru Ira Einhorn came a step closer to the dock Thursday after a French court agreed to send him to the U.S. to stand in a new trial for the murder of his girlfriend, Holly Maddux. It's a small step -- Einhorn's lawyer is already readying an appeal, a process that could take up to two years and go all the way to the French equivalent of the Supreme Court.

...Einhorn will remain in French custody. If the decision is not to extradite, that's it. The Unicorn will walk into the cobblestone streets of Bordeaux with his lovely Swedish wife, the dark conspiracies that fill his head and whatever understanding he has reached with the ghost of Holly Maddux...
...League. Tino Martinez wasn't even the best Martinez (Pedro, Boston). Or the second best (that would be Edgar, Seattle). No, Timmy, that wasn't the year Reggie Jackson was on the team. And Mark McGwire played for somebody else. As did Sammy Sosa, Ken Griffey, Barry Bonds, Greg Maddux and Roger Clemens. Your best bet is to try to distract Timmy with candy. In the future, candy will be even better...
