...that fuel prices are going up, I can appreciate Walter Kirn's difficulty in taking the long drives that any trip in Montana seems to entail [Oct. 10]. I recently had to quit--almost before I started--a job in Kalispell, Mont., the closest town of any size (pop. 14,000) to my home. That's about 50 miles away. The daily round trip on $3-per-gal. gas would have meant that, after the associated costs of commuting, I'd be earning only $2 an hour.

At the very least, I hope that your...
...film, he swings his limbs in happiness and flashes his teeth in anger, expressing each emotion to its extreme. Still, says Torres, that energy made him a force of nature who was sometimes difficult to restrain. The film’s first wardrobe person had a nervous breakdown and quit the film after working with Carlos.He does, however, have a sensitivity that sticks in the viewer’s mind, and he’s utterly convincing as a child coping with grotesquely adult circumstances. In one scene, Chava picks up a rifle to defend his family from the government...
