...Debra Smigel delivers the best performance of the night as Dr. Olson, the pompous social scientist who is helpless without her Ph.D. Jackie Osherow has some fine moments as the fruit-crazed Goneril, and Sarah McCluskey as Adeline pronounces some less than stellar lines with a cute Marilyn Monroe pout...

...with a weak-willed, soft-hearted core, a man whose oblique playfulness (meant to hide everything) pleads desperately for help and affection but who is vacillating, mean and a bit of an ass. Here he plays a sly, greasy Dennis-the-Menace type with the manipulative whine and offended pout of a three year old. He waddles through the film grinning lasciviously, scratching his belly--a charicature of immaturity and meanness. It's a putrid role for him. The director has pared away Nicholson's sleekness and suavity, left only that soft, slightly rotten center of his acting character...

...others in the car. Chuck caught my attention first: He was 17 years old, a chunky kid, inclined to fat so that his features seemed to melt back into his flesh. But his nose stuck out a little, his thick lower lip was giving him a permanent pout, and his eyes were slits. The rest of his face was flat and square, like his body. He had curly black hair, close to his head, and wore a striped T-shirt. His face was smooth, except for a few blackheads, and entirely hairless. He and another guy, David, had run back...

...Cabinet. Angry at criticism within the Labor Party of his handling of the Yom Kippur War, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan had pulled an Achilles-like withdrawal and announced that he would not serve in the next Cabinet "under existing conditions" - meaning, presumably, that he would pout on the sidelines until the critics said that they were sorry. "I have asked him, I am asking him, and I will ask him to serve in the new Cabinet," a weary Meir told reporters. "And I hope he will...
