...make matters worse, The Harvard Mystique is largely derivative. Lopez lifts stuff from every popular magazine article he can get his hands on. From Esquire, he steals whole descriptive passages about the atmosphere of the Harvard Business School. From The Crimson he steals sensational stuff that no respectable author would steal. Lopez rehashes recent controversies that have plagued Harvard in recent years-- the fight over genetic determination and I.Q., the University's connection with the Central Intelligence Agency, the fight over the relocation of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library. It's all been said before-- and much better...

I always thought the film would be up there among the prizes, but it's the first time my work has ever been publicly honored." Jack Lemmon, who won Best Actor for his portrayal of a troubled nuclear engineer...
...West German Director Volker Schlondorff (The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum). It was the first time since 1973 that the Golden Palm had been awarded to two films. Some boos and jeers greeted the announcement of the decision. Cynics also noted Apocalypse did not have to contend with two popular films, Woody Allen's Manhattan and Milos Forman's Hair, both of which were screened outside of competition at Cannes. While Apocalypse's Cannes victory will not hurt, it may not be much help to a movie that must be an alltime box-office smash just...
