...year when three future U.S. Presidents passed through formative ordeals and emerged reborn--launched toward their destinies. All three of those destinies would be literally or politically fatal years later, in the Vietnam-Watergate era, which, in turn, formed the U.S.'s present leaders. The year 1948 was the seedbed...

And then, by an act of sternest will, she summons the old fun, as in the numbers A Couple of Swells and I Love a Piano.

That all changed in 1998 with Ichise's stylishly creepy Ringu, which Hollywood remade as The Ring.
