Talented administrators and teachers elsewhere often create special incentives to motivate students. At Eastern High in Washington, Ralph Neal, who was named one of the top ten U.S. principals by the National School Safety Center, rewards good grades and attendance records by publishing the information in the Washington Post and taking an oustanding youngster to lunch each month at a good Capitol Hill restaurant -- where he also fetes his teacher of the month...
...will I most remember about Harvard many years hence? Probably the walks along the Charles with Jenny, the way we had to scrape and scrimp after Dad cut us off and the look on her face when she died...oh, wait, that wasn't me, it was Ryan O'Neal.

The latter is Del Griffith (John Candy), a salesman of shower-curtain rings and not at all Neal's kind of guy. He dresses funny, is too eager to be helpful...
...1940s brought a plague of these film-noir harpies, from Gene Tierney in Leave Her to Heaven to Barbara Stanwyck in almost anything. Edgar G. Ulmer's relentless Detour (1946) cast Ann Savage as a harridan from hell -- the worst pickup of poor Tom Neal's life -- whose grating voice is, finally and poetically, strangled by a telephone cord. And as feminism found its voice in the early '70s, Hollywood shouted back. In Clint Eastwood's Play Misty for Me (1971), Jessica Walter is a woman who has a brief affair with a Carmel, Calif., disk jockey (Eastwood...
