...will now be up to a court to decide whether Dominique's parents have crossed that line. As her family's main breadwinner, Dominique will not find it difficult to prove that she can support herself. In August she won the all-around competition at the Goodwill Games. She hopes to compete in the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Last week, though, she sounded more like a child trying desperately to reconcile the very adult goals of professional success and personal happiness.

Amblad goes from flight attendant, to especially silly Romeo, to a Martha Stewart-esque "Titus Androgynous" running a cooking show with a revenge theme, where the main ingredient is the rapist. His approach to the reductionist difficulties of "head pie" has all the confidence and self-possession one would expect of the woman herself. Opposite him in this scene is Green, with a Muppet-like rendition of Lavinia, the tongueless assistant. The idea for the scenario is mediocre...
