Jack moves in with his new-age aerobics instructor. In a triangle of mismatched Iust, Sally is introduced to a magazine editor, Michael (Liam Neeson), who falls in love with her--but not before Judy, their matchmaker, realizes that she likes Michael, too. And Professor Gabe hankers after one of his brightest college writing pupils (Juliette Lewis). There is plenty of desire, but not much sex. What we see are deflected touches, interrupted kisses and turned backs...

Neeson first got Haig into the University of Notre Dame and, after a year there, obtained a congressional appointment to the Military Academy in 1944, when Haig was 19. Surprisingly, says Regina, Haig found the discipline hard to endure, but he adjusted to it so well that in a later tour of duty at the Point, he was in charge of reprimanding cadets for infractions. The only time he apparently broke the rules was during his second year; he went over the hill...
