...careening grandeur. But the rest of the cast is weak. Gerry Bamman overacts as the bankrupt landowner Telyegin. Amanda Donohoe (formerly of L.A. Law) looks lovely as the irresistible beauty Yelena but fails to wring any pathos from her realization that in life she has "always played a minor role." As the professor, Werner Klemperer produces a small fool when we long for a big one-there's a panoramic sweep missing in his windy fatuities.

Sources at the Bulls, which are owned by Jerry Reinsdorf, who also owns the White Sox, told TIME that an announcement about Jordan's future...
...Courses of Instruction. Granted, 10a and 10b don't fit neatly into either category, but it wouldn't upset any great cosmic order to add these two classes to the A category, the broader of the two. It is the reluctance of the subcommittee to take this minor step that is the problem...
