...three institutions are sacred in America, they are motherhood, baseball and Social Security. Any critic of the geometric rise of Social Security payouts is looked upon as a reactionary who would condemn the aged and disabled, the widows and orphans to a life of impecunity on a diet of Alpo. Yet the most articulate critic of this increasingly straitened pension system hardly looks or sounds like a modern Marie Antoinette...
...film doesn't do much better at dealing with the heroines as individuals. Anne's ambiguous struggles with her square husband (Bob Balaban), her career and motherhood seem to be yet another extension of The Group. Susan's predictable progress toward personal and professional self-confidence offers few surprises to anyone who has ever met Georgy Girl or Sheila Levine.

The Turkey Deluxe (T.D., for the football fans out there) is a classic, and the hot pastrami and cheese ranks up there with motherhood and the flag as something worth fighting for. The decor is, in a word, crummy (in two words, very crummy), but you can go somewhere else to digest, right? Two warnings: stay away from the place at lunchtime, when the Governor often has to call in the National Guard to keep...
