...Rudy Perpich, Minnesota's longest-serving Governor, had outlasted his welcome after 10 years in the statehouse. Carlson, a defender of abortion rights, also attracted pro-choice voters who would have had nowhere to turn in a contest between Grunseth and Perpich, both of whom oppose abortion. Observes Kris Sanda, a Carlson adviser: "When they were faced with Rudy Perpich and Jon Grunseth, people started saying, 'Good Lord, is this all there is to choose from in Minnesota...
Around a ramp of snow trucked down from the hills, the flame was delivered to Figure Skater Sanda Dubravcic. She ran the sparkler up a great white staircase, and the Olympic wok ignited instantly with a roar. But the highlight for some was the final duty of Lake Placid, the hosts of 1980, represented by Mayor Robert Peacock and the Norwood, N.Y., fire-department band. Appearing incomplete without a Dalmatian trotting alongside, the firemen oom-pah-pahed along the Bosnian Main Street, performing When the Saints Go Marching In, America the Beautiful and Baby Face...
...itself much more memorably into one's mind. In it, two women who may well have taken part in the events of 1968 attempt to come to grips with the issues of grownup existence. Lucie (Geraldine Chaplin) is slightly the older, and definitely the less stable. Helene (Dominique Sanda) discovers her on her doorstep when she returns from a concert.

Cast as a young German in The Formula, French Actress Dominique Sanda appeared for a first reading with George C.

Scott found Sanda's French accent so thick that he had difficulty understanding her. That would make for bad acting and a bad movie. Change the fraulein, as Hollywood often does, to a mademoiselle? Great Scott...
...Bertolucci's grand theatrics are of limited use when 1900 's second half devolves into good-guys v. bad-guys melodrama. Major characters who do not fit precisely into the director's polarized political scheme (notably the weak patrician liberals played by De Niro and Dominique Sanda) fade out as the film's narrative gives way to propagandistic pageant. Crucial scenes that might resolve the script's tortuous human relationships never materialize. By the time 1900 reaches its flag-wav ing Liberation Day climax, the sloganeering and confusion are almost unbearable. Even then...
