...plan to savor the new polls? Spend your time more productively by rearranging your sock drawer. Why? Consider 1984. On the eve of the New Hampshire primary, the New York Times reported that Walter Mondale "now holds the most commanding lead ever recorded this early in a Presidential nomination campaign by a nonincumbent." His nearly 3-1 triumph in Iowa had given him a 57-8 lead in national polls over nearest rival Jesse Jackson.

They look awful, and it looks fantastic. You can practically savor Diaz's joy at proving that she's a "real" actress and not just another pretty face. Craig and Lotte are an absurd, sexless married couple - pet store junkie and street puppeteer - fighting for the affections of mean, unattainable Maxine (Catherine Keener). The world they exist in at first resembles...
