Michael Lemonick and Alice Park examined the addictions many of us struggle with every day [Sept. 10]. Society often labels alcoholics and other addicts as moral failures, despite medical evidence to the contrary. The sad truth is that the active addict may experience a physical, psychological or even spiritual high and no longer make healthy, rational decisions. With the help of the medical community and support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous, addicts can manage their disease. Michele Rugo, MURPHYS, CALIF...
...African), recalling the quiet, solitary-seeming Oluwale as he walked around the streets of Leeds. Yet all the pieces are linked by a sense of deep loneliness and the bitterest ironies. Barber, like Oluwale, is found in an infirmary, dressed in his late master's clothes and looking "as sad and as broken as any man can be."

Imagine truncating the Harvard semester after five weeks during the first two months of freshman year. These accelerated and often isolated programs bring a Harvard mentality to a radically different place. We cannot bring Harvard to Bombay, Barcelona or Buenos Aires, and attempts to do so are stunting to both...
...topless. Is the movie an analogy of Iraq? Not perfectly, but well enough. Does it say something about contemporary American cheesiness? Yes, to some degree. Does Hank Deerfield's righteousness survive only because he shifts his moral position? Yes, but mutedly, without a jarring triumphant note. This is a sad, subtle and very good movie, designed not so much to make you think, but to make you feel the impact of large events on little lives...
