American Airlines Flight 1420 came in during a thunderstorm just before midnight Tuesday, and the rain-slicked runway just wasn't long enough. The twin-engine Super MD-80 outran 7,200 feet of asphalt, careened past an access road and whipped around a metal tower that peeled back the plane's thin shell on the left side, said one passenger, "like a sardine can."

William's charm is of a musing, terribly English sort. He knows his place, which is deliberately narrow, unthreatening. She, in turn, has the wariness of the constantly stalked. She doesn't have a place. She is a bird of passage, always about to leave one movie location for the next. The film's comedy and crises arise out of their attempts to find a refuge where she can settle down and he can open...
