...FAVORITE mouth in movies, and a spirit to match; we'll happily watch her for the next 40 years. Matt Dillon is perfecting a comic shagginess. Funny Jeremy Piven steals a scene at a check-out counter. The other actors in SINGLES are stuck with playing cliches -- twentynothings. They mate, they muse, they inhabit soap-opera plots. Meet urban planner Campbell Scott ("a realist slash dreamer"), Greenpeacenik Kyra Sedgwick ("This whole decade is going to have to be about cleaning up"), maitre d' Jim True ("I live my life like a French movie").

"Both of the Democratic candidates are young and smart," grumbled a depressed Bush-Quayle campaign official, "and we've only got one of each...
HENRY WALLACE (1944). Overshadowing Roosevelt's choice of a running mate was the suspicion that he might not live to the end of a fourth term. Vice President Wallace's advocacy of civil rights and his utopian rhetoric about a global New Deal made him anathema to big-city bosses and conservative Southern Democrats. F.D.R. toyed with the idea of picking Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas to replace him, but finally settled on Missouri Senator Harry Truman...
