...worry, Matthew. Isabelle and her saturnine brother Theo (Louis Garrel) have a sort of home movie--no camera but lots of sex and nakedness--that they think might be fun to make in their parents' apartment. After the clueless mother and father depart on vacation, the kids shed their duds, their inhibitions and such political consciousness as they have. The demirevolution of the spring of 1968 begins to gather riotous force outside their windows while they play mainly degrading sexual games indoors. Eventually they find themselves eating garbage. Eventually Isabelle flirts with suicide. Eventually a revolutionary rock, tossed through their...
...Hampshire, familiarity with Kerry once bred indifference, if not contempt. Suddenly, it brought comfort. Even when Kerry was doing badly, says Gephardt campaign manager Steve Murphy, "he always had great favorability ratings. They were always better than Dean's.

He is able, somehow, to shed his brass and re-create his lonely, impoverished childhood in Arkansas: his patriotic attempt to master chemistry and build a backyard rocket after the Russians launched Sputnik; his decision, at age 5, to attend the Baptist church in Little Rock because the stained-glass windows reminded him of the Methodist church he'd attended in Chicago before his father died; his struggle to raise a family on a military salary; the car he totally rebuilt because...
...going--towards quality, low-cost carriers," says John Selvaggio, the head of Song. "We had to play both defense and offense." Song's fares are competitive, the TV and music offerings that the company is installing on board are enticing, and the flight attendants have apparently been encouraged to shed the stoic professionalism of mainline Delta Air Lines and put on an irreverent face. On a recent Song trip, a flight attendant asked over the p.a. system, "Can I have your attention?" As travelers looked up from their video screens and newspapers, she proceeded...
