The cinematic notion of a contended man and wife, gliding through life on a cloud of kisses, kind words and double martinis, pretty much died out with Nick and Nora Charles 60 years ago. Mr. & Mrs. Smith, the crime caper with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, is about as close as you could come lately, and they kept trying to kill each other.

Images of white paper fading into darkness and VES professor Ruth Lingford’s ghostly animations...
...resources to be able to get out there and hold that lead. And part of it was, there's a natural cycle on the coverage of these campaigns. I actually think that what probably had the most impact this past week was the press buying into this notion that they have been too tough on her or too soft on me. I actually think that had the biggest impact. She complained to the referees and the referees gave her some calls...
