And when the first missiles hit, ABC's Peter Jennings was nowhere to be found, hustling onto the set shortly before Bush addressed the nation. As if to redeem itself, the network stayed with the story longer than its rivals. NBC got riveting reports from Baghdad from Arnett, on loan from MSNBC's National Geographic Explorer--he welcomed incoming fire like a bracing morning shower--but anchorman Tom Brokaw should save his sentimental streak for his WW II books...

Like Ikiru's Kanji Watanabe, Nango is in a race against time to make amends for a lifetime of dutiful work by which he now feels poisoned. But compared to Kurosawa's characters, these protagonists are less deftly rendered. Nango's fanatical devotion to the case makes him the personification of a guilty conscience rather than a flesh and blood character...
