...laughed out loud on hearing these lines. The Sony IMAX in New York was full to capacity with eager Star Wars watchers, even though it was past midnight on Sunday, and I would say that a healthy number of them stared at me bewildered for some time after my outburst. Of course, the confused spectators had not been privy to a discussion I had with my best friend earlier in the week, one which made these lines extremely funny...
...plaintiffs gave it their best shot. For nine hours and two minutes, their lawyers tried to shake the defendant, to provoke an outburst, to spark a defining moment that would convince a majority of the 12 jurors that O.J. Simpson was guilty of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. But the former football star never lost his cool.

A late outburst by Ruth about her friends' disrespect of her seems almost an afterthought, and the wrap-up scene, new baby included and old babies rejuvenated, is played with such a smooth resolution, such a return to levity, that we feel vaguely cheated...
...primarily because he had nowhere to fall from. Although Agnew had rapidly risen from obscurity to national prominence like Nixon, his ascent was never considered a mark of political acumen or leadership skill. In fact, his selection as Nixon's running mate has been primarily attributed to his bitter outburst at Baltimore's black leaders and to the machinations of South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond. In his outburst, Agnew blamed Stokely Carmichael's presence in Baltimore for the riots in the wake of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. Such lunacy was perhaps only exceeded by his speech condemning "insidious...
