...sense, that's all you can ever safely say about Hollywood. The problem has always been to discern, in advance, in helpful detail, how to pass Go and (nowadays) collect $200 million domestic, God knows what in the ancillaries. For movie trends-or even individual hits-do not reveal themselves until they are actually thundering down on us. No executive, no agent, certainly no mere movie reviewer usually spots one until it is actually rolling over his toes, sharp pain belatedly signaling where the most money is likely to be found for the next few months-and that the victim...
Borrowing a conceit from Citizen Kane, Eilenberg does not reveal the reason for the play's title, Pumpkin, until the end of the 30 to 45 minutepiece--Pumpkin is the name...
...accountant, and the others kept their day jobs; some dropped out. Of the original five, only Moloney and fiddler Martin Fay remain; the others are Conneff (percussion), Sean Keane (second fiddle), Matt Molloy (flute) and Derek Bell (harp and keyboards), whose dour banker's visage is uncapped onstage to reveal a wily mischiefmaker.

If Preston's virus story were a virus, the Outbreak team would aim an H-bomb at it. And the Hot Zone people would be sitting around apprehensively, waiting for it to develop...
...especially ill suited to the task because of the perception that he is or has been self-indulgent. It's not just the President's past personal life, say Republicans; it is more the perception that Clinton is unfocused, an issue surfer who grabs at whatever the polls reveal as fashionable at the moment. "When the President stands tall against a middle-class tax cut and in favor of deficit reduction in 1993 and then supports the opposite in 1994, that's not good," says a Clinton adviser. "In a job that demands an adult, the President is viewed...
