...every dragon, lion or bear, there is an emblem that seems to have no ferocity at all. A modern officer might not wish to appear before his men with a pair of enormous formalized rabbit ears stuck to his helmet. One might as well pretend to be a chicken. But not in 17th century Japan, where rabbits symbolized long life and virility and were a favored helmet motif. (Americans see an old man in the moon; Japanese saw the silhouette of a rabbit with mortar and pestle, pounding out the elixir of life.) Likewise, the clam is peaceable...
...financial independence is not out of place. The three soap-opera actresses in Secrets manage to be both busy professionals and powerful love goddesses. The most impressive of the trio converts a homosexual into her lover and father of her child. The plot deals with how these women eventually pair off with three male colleagues.

...every stop will remember best the bright moments: Diana clutching at one of her flying-saucer hats as a sudden gust of wind tried to launch it, or the Prince, tongue in cheek, declining to speak for his wife for fear she would be cross with him later. The pair inserted some nice adlibs into the script. Upon being presented with a quilt at one stop, Charles asked, "Is it king-size or queen-size?" Explaining his resistance to jet lag, he noted, "It's all in the breeding, you know." When Clint Eastwood said lightly that Diana...
Against 21 hitters, over the course of seven innings, and in 91 pitches, Herrmann allowed just a pair of hits and a pair of walks...
