WASHINGTON, D.C.: Flanked by Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole, former housing secretary Jack Kemp presented the long-awaited report of his tax commission at a press conference, proposing "a roadmap for a totally new tax code for America as we enter the 21st century." The 14-member panel called the current tax code a "7 million-word mess" and endorsed a flat tax, while leaving out specifics on what percentage should be taxed and what, if any, deductions should be preserved. Instead, the plan's centerpiece is "The Tax Test:" twelve principles to guide the creation of a fairer, flatter...
...THIS END, John Hurt, as Winston, is also marvelous. Previously John Merrick in The Elephant Man and the fool in Olivier's King Lear, Hurt is the archetypal common man, his face a veritable roadmap of toil and suffering. His love scenes with the fresh-faced Suzanna Hamilton (Julia) are as tenderly pathetic as the tiny, dilapitated room in which they take place. He is dwarfed by a huge video screen as he sits hunched and writes in his diary, an action that seems both puny and heroic. Throughout the film, Hurt never loses that peculiar combination of hope...

Sure, this movie is silly. Yes, it lacks most of the cinemotographic or humanistic profoundity of Rules of the Game or The Discreet Charms of the Boutgoisie. But as Stanley Cavell will tell you, the true romantic comedy, a roadmap of one couple's pursuit of happiness in this insane world, is in essence an artistic iceberg; nine-tenths out of sight. Movies like American Dreamer will not accrue Star Wars-sized lucre, but enough Americans have good enough taste to give them a shot at profitability. The difficulty is that quality acting, writing, and directing must be invested...
These crafted poems are a roadmap of Seamus Heaney's soul. In them he has left Belfast and the political images of past volumes and retreated to the fields. He's headed to the coast, "through flowers and limestone" to eat the day "deliberately, that its tang/Might quicken me all into verb, pure verb." And an active, transitive verb at that. Heaney always places himself in each animated poem: in a record of his four sequestered years in the country, he wanders from the water's edge to open shed, from a stone pier to a deeply tilled...
