...Lovesick, which opens on Feb. 18, Moore is a middle-aged Manhattan psychiatrist who falls in love with a nubile patient and finds happiness under the ironic eyes of Sigmund Freud's fantasy-ghost (Alec Guinness). The film was written and directed by Marshall Brickman, who collaborated with Woody Allen on the screenplays of Sleeper, Annie Hall and Manhattan, and it has many of the funny, arch touches of Allen's best pictures. The early scenes, particularly, in which a motley group of patients pass through Moore's office, are hilarious, knowing satire at its best...

The author traces painstakingly the later deals that Johnson made with Brown & Root, including millions more dollars worth of Federal dam appropriations and contracts during World War II to build ships for the Navy--all in exchange for massive contributions to Johnson campaigns.

They are far more authoritative: they are descendants of an ancient caste of magician-priests who, despite expos...
...Isabella Bird (Deborah Findlay), an intrepid 19th century Scottish traveler; Lady Nijo (Lindsay Duncan), a 13th century Japanese courtesan who became a Buddhist nun; Dull Gret (Carole Hayman), who led an avenging legion of women into the precincts of hell in Brueghel's painting Dulle Griet; and finally, Patient Griselda (Lesley Manville), made famous in Boccaccio and Chaucer as the model of a loyal, submissive wife...
