...dead serious, unendurably shrill--and for an endless 2 hrs. 20 min. Still, we can't pin all the blame for ethnic defamation on Lee; his screenwriters are Victor Colicchio and Michael Imperioli. To them, we cry, like a stern Italian grandma, "Vergogna!" That's how you say "Shame on you" in Italian...
...guardians of Kosovo?s refugees, NATO are a bunch of deadbeats, according to the U.N. An official in charge of coordinating refugee relief efforts tore into the Western alliance Friday, hoping to shame it into handing over desperately needed cash to resettle the half million returned refugees.

It is a shame that Joan of Arc in her benighted state could not have similarly been "cured." Unproductive individuals hostile to mainstream society, ranging from Socrates to Emerson, could have been chemically corrected for their own good to better adhere to the norm. If everyone conformed, schools could successfully be made up of "productive" students who effectively stick with traditional studies and perhaps make...
