...with Jed (dishy Kenny Doughty), a former student who moonlights as a church organist. This steams her friends, who see the affair as a threat to the only family they know. Chicanery and worse follow, as the film dares a violent shift of tone but ends up in a sadder but wiser equipoise. Crush is a chick flick to this extent: it says that sisterhood is more important to a woman--more intense, perhaps suffocating--than marriage and a sex life...
...Bopper, Buddy Holly, Patsy Cline, John Denver, Otis Redding, a few others.

Sadder for facing the wages of his sin and wiser for having faced down four Congresses, seven budgets and one impeachment, Clinton commands, even from his detractors, a grudging respect. In the past few weeks, the Vice President's reluctance to use this rich resource has risen to a public drama. But Hillary's embrace of her husband down the stretch may put her in the record books: the first First Lady to abdicate the White House to win a Senate seat...
