Roman Catholics wishing to be wed in Wisconsin have had to undergo a premarriage preparation period similar to the one required for residents of Phoenix. I have recently completed the "premarital inventory" with my fiance. We are 25 years old and have dated for 3½ years, and the process reaffirmed our belief in each other. The Roman Catholic Church deserves applause for attempting to bring the divorce rate down...
...grandmother burns down her house to fool the enemy into thinking that a fugitive is hiding there, and not in one of the houses next door, thus giving him time to escape. His Aunt Liberty avenges her husband and brother to prevent her 16 year old son from doing so, and so dies in his place. His uncle too, is willing to share food, that most precious of commodities, with a dying girl, so weak that poppies bruise her skin...
Bill Lee--that old gonfalon of Red Sox past--once said that Zimmer had to pass his driver's test before he could manage a professional baseball team. But gerbils just don't drive--they sniff and sneak and scurry their way out of the maze. And if the O's are demolished in a plane crash, (or if Earl Weaver sniff too much glue), then Don Zimmer's beady eyes might finally sit still at the end of the season. Besides, Zimmer is the right man for the job. In the American League East, a rodent's instincts...

So he tried to do it both ways and it came out neither--a mess, complicated by the celebrated Edward Gorey's black-and-white cartoon sets, which reduced...
...becomes one more film afflicted with the disease of the terminal. Movies with two endings, or no endings, or three endings, or appended endings are as much a part of Hollywood history as Schwab's Drugstore or Hedda's hats. New closings tend to be happier than old ones, with boy getting girl after all, or star surviving rather than perishing. In Apache (1954), Burt Lancaster was first killed, then allowed to live on. What's Up Doc? (1972) initially ended with a bittersweet goodbye between Ryan O'Neal and Barbra Streisand at an airport...
