...President Bush is undoubtedly the newsmaker of the year. Is he, however, a "revolutionary"? In your article, the Bush who no longer needs to win an election came across as a pugnacious thug, his swaggering, loves-to-be-hated style more brash than visionary. TIME said he was a "punk at heart" and recalled his college days of wearing cowboy boots and a bomber jacket on campus during Vietnam War protests. Was he an outsider then, as you suggest, or was he then-and is he now-the ultimate insider, a protected son of wealth and power who has little...

Forty-one newspapers that endorsed Bush back...

There is an undercurrent to the entire movie reinforced by its far-too-easy deus ex machina that says that the world should revert to the traditional archetypes of the 1950s. It is a frustrating punk-out that a movie so interested in looking at modern mores should seem like it could be a remake of a 1950s Cary Grant-Warren Beatty comedy. Walking out, there is the realization that there are a lot of problems ahead in trying to find a place in the real...
