Could any young actress not wilt in this adoring, predatory glare? All right, Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday--but that film had an old-Hollywood glow, and Hepburn was unique. The two Tyler movies are anemic, anomic art-house fodder. One comes from the director of The Conformist and The Last Emperor; the other from the guy who is about to make CopLand, the film Sly Stallone hopes will turn him into a certified Actor...
...deeply offended by the Roman Catholic Church and its Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz for using the fear of excommunication as a tool for religious bigotry [RELIGION, May 27]. Bruskewitz threatened to excommunicate members of his diocese who belonged to groups deemed "perilous to the Catholic faith," including America's Freemasons, members of the DeMolay and other organizations. The rich history of Freemasonry dates back to colonial America and before. Some of our Founding Fathers, including George Washington, were dedicated Freemasons. Present-day Masonic organizations exist in all 50 states and continue to be in the mainstream of all that is good...

He is a Californian (Orange County) who can help the Kansan win the Golden State's treasure trove of 54 electoral votes. Cox also is a Roman Catholic who grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota, thus appealing to the swing ethnic voters in the battleground states in the Midwest. And he has elite credentials: law and business degrees from Harvard and a staff job in the Reagan White House. His biggest drawback: someone so young would make...
