...Leigh had a gaze as alert and sexy as any in movies. It bored into Frank Sinatra's frazzled psyche in The Manchurian Candidate; mixed fear and fire as a captive in Orson Welles' Touch of Evil. Even after she'd been killed in the Psycho shower (a model doubled her in some shots), Leigh's unblinking eye held the viewer's. Decades later, it still does. ?By Richard Corliss...

...community is not a perfect model for organizing. University City, the area that produced Nelly and boasts some of the best hip hop clubs in St. Louis, is one of the most segregated places in the country.

Arriving in 1992, Beach transformed an aging, liturgically conservative, 35-member congregation by initiating community-outreach programs and a livelier second Sunday service. Before long, the place was hopping. Attendance topped 200, and grateful Albanites invested in a $1.6 million parish hall and a $100,000 pastor's office. They knew Beach strongly opposed the Robinson elevation--he had conducted "burial rites" for Episcopalianism at the time--but most of them agreed with him and were willing to battle beside him for a denominational reversal...
There are other problems. Volatile times make for less accurate polling. The wizards base their model electorates, inevitably, on who voted last time. Earth-shattering events like the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the war in Iraq could yield a substantially different electorate in 2004, but no one knows whether that means, for instance, that there will be a surge of military-draft-fearing 18-to24-year-olds coming out to vote this year. The subject of Iraq, in itself, has to be hard to poll; people are torn among their loyalty to the troops, their lack of knowledge about...
