...Scorsese clipped and cherished that early review, and in the introduction to his latest book, Scorsese By Ebert, Ebert says that first feature film flagged Scorsese as a director to watch: "This film had a quality that sent tingles up my arms. It felt made out of my dreams and guilts ... Everything about that movie stabbed me in the heart and soul. I had seen great films, I had in truth seen greater films, but never one that so touched me. Perhaps it was because of that experience that I became a film critic, instead of simply working...
...Scorsese By Ebert is a film-by-film chronicling of the professional, yet passionate, Ebert-Scorsese relationship. Packaged together are every Ebert review of a Scorsese title, as well as an array of essays, interviews, and the transcript of an on-stage discussion between the director and writer at The Ohio State University in 1997.

It's the worst of both worlds: the government is being bogged down listening to communications between innocent people, and they're not channeling...
...current version, described by U.S. officials as a "final" draft, specifies that U.S. forces will withdraw from Iraq's cities "no later than June 30th, 2009", and from all Iraqi territory "no later than December 31st, 2011." There is certainly a provision for those dates to be subject to "review," but changing them would require agreement from both sides. Effectively, the draft agreement puts any "conditions-based" decision to extend the deadline into the hands of the Iraqi government. And on current indications, the Iraqis are unlikely to accept any extension. In fact, right now the Iraqi government appears unable...
