...many important measures, U.S. companies like Cannondale are now muscular performers in the world market and equipped to do even better as trade barriers fall. The U.S. shipped out a record $448.2 billion in exports last year, resuming for the second year in a row its longtime position as the world's largest exporter (a title it lost to Germany every year but one between 1986 and 1990). Significantly, most of the increase in exports came from sales by small and medium-size companies, which are rapidly learning to think globally...
...another saved-from-the-executioner-at-the-last-minute scene or to see Kiefer Sutherland once again with his back against a tree in a one-against-20 gunfight (this is his third time doing it, and he just keeps getting better). Indeed, there were moments, when four muscular men with determined faces were pictured galloping across the countryside, squinting and gritting ther teeth with determination, when I just wanted to stand up and lament, "Where oh where, at a time like this, is the Bon Jovi musical accompaniment?"

...remember Pat O'Brien, Cagney's superego, trying to keep his wayward pal on a righteous path. What Carlito has instead is his friend and shyster lawyer, Dave Kleinfeld (Sean Penn, in a terrific performance).

It goes awry, naturally, and Carlito's subsequent flight brings out the best in De Palma -- breathless, bravura moviemaking, intricately designed, but playing like a delirious improvisation...
Moral authorities have come and gone, but Graham has endured, his honor intact despite his proximity to the shattering temptations of power. From the start, Graham presented to skeptics and believers alike a raucous, muscular Christianity, full of fire and free of doubt. Through it all, his message has been essentially the same. Each person is sinful before God, a predicament that can turn to redemption through faith in Jesus Christ and his death on the Cross. And Graham is the master marketer of that faith...
...scale dramatic paintings accomodated in galleries normally reserved for the museum's permanent collection. A highlight is Rubens's "Prometheus Bound" (1611-12), which shows Prometheus bound to Mount Caucasus as punishment by Zeus for stealing fire from the gods. Prometheus's pain is tangible to the viewer. His muscular body writhes and twists as an eagle digs his claws into the man's foreshortened body. With a bold diagonal composition and bravado brushwork, Rubens conveys human agony in the dynamic, engaging style typical of the Baroque period...
