When TIME prepares a cover story, its correspondents often interview scores, sometimes hundreds, of people. The goal is to provide a fresh portrait of the subject that is accurate, revealing and comprehensive. For this week's cover story, Correspondent Anne Constable faced one unusual difficulty: Supreme Court Justices do not talk to the press. So she launched her research by speaking at length to nearly two dozen former Supreme Court clerks, all of whom had finished their one-year stints only last summer. Explains Constable: "The newly graduated clerks are perhaps the most knowledgeable source of current information about...
Directed by Robert Greenwald (whose credits include the fine 1982 TV film In the Custody of Strangers), the movie avoids both sentimentality and sententiousness. Its portrait of a lower-middle-class marriage is as incisive and coldblooded as anything TV has shown. Yet the violence is frequently underplayed to good effect.

When he was twelve, his mother went to Hamburg to inroll him in art school. Karl wanted to be a portrait painter, but the art school director pointed out that "your son isn't interested in art, he's only interested in clothes." Lagerfeld promoted this shortcoming into a virtue by turning quickly to fashion design. At 16, he entered a design competition and won. Another winner was also...
...performance itself is equally lukewarm. Rogers' portrait of the foster son Don is convincing, and Bob Knapp gives a highly amusing, if at times overdone, performance of Marion's boyfriend, Zappy. On the whole, however, most of the actors lack the energy the play calls for and resort to maudlin, melodramatic performances...
