Streisand first read the Singer story in 1968, the year of her Funny Girl movie debut, and the single-minded passion that she brought to the project encourages skepticism. Like Streisand and the character she plays, Yentl is indeed aggressive, exotic, oversize, polarizing. No one is likely to react indifferently to this one-woman band. But as the long, lush picture gains momentum and confidence, it admits the viewer to a beguiling world where emotions can bubble out of low comedy, where familial friendship and carnal love intersect, where the dead exert their tenacious influence on the living...

Lest you think the game was a one-woman show, understand that the entire offense also turned it one of its finest efforts of the year to down the Ithacans.

...reputation for doggedly staying the course. Thatcher refused to discuss any date whatsoever. While the nation braced for a June election, one of her aides insisted last week that waiting for an early announcement was like "barking up a gum tree." Yet the Prime Minister was not above some unabashed campaigning of her own, rallying the faithful wherever she goes and giving a stream of recent interviews loaded with electoral grapeshot.

...artist in question is Mags (short for Margaret) Church. She lives in Manhattan and is about to have a one-woman show at a 57th Street gallery. With pride and belated affection, she visits her patrician parents on Boston's Beacon Hill. The house, which has been sold, greets Mags like a bare, ruined choir of lamentation. The great vaulting windows are naked, the marble fireplace mantelpiece is shrouded, and the living room floor is scattered with empty packing cartons. In the direst exodus of their lives, Fanny (Marian Seldes) and Gardner Church (Donald Moffat) are retreating, year-round...
