...what? Ron said he never forgave Amy for refusing to cut short an ocean cruise with her parents to come home and comfort him when his father died in 1996. So, he said, he decided to marry her, have a child with her and kill it. He researched SIDS while waiting for her to bond with Tyler. He confessed, he said, because he was haunted by the corpse...
...already written Light in August and The Sound and the Fury, but in 1948, when WILLIAM FAULKNER submitted a short story to the Atlantic Monthly and Harper's, steely editors at both publications rejected it. This week the Virginia Quarterly Review, a journal apparently with less forbidding standards, will finally unveil "Lucas Beauchamp." The Review, published by the University of Virginia, where Faulkner was a writer-in-residence, inherited the story from the Rev. Patrick Samway, a former literary editor of a Jesuit magazine. Samway got a copy of the manuscript in 1975 but rediscovered it only earlier this year...
...short term, Russia?s partisan preference might actually suit NATO by persuading Serbs to stay and helping preserve Kosovo?s multi-ethnic character. But the Kosovo conflict has dramatically altered the atmosphere of NATO-Russian relations. "What Boris Yeltsin calls ?the march on Pristina? is being hailed in Russia as a great military victory and as a sign that Russia ?- however pathetically ?- can stand up to NATO," says Meier. And just last week Moscow set alarm bells ringing in NATO countries with a massive military exercise ?- including provocative bomber flights into Western airspace ?- designed to simulate repelling an attack from...
...that and a gigantic talking clitoris should be enough for a short feature. But director Trey Parker (who wrote the film with Matt Stone and Pam Brady) figured he'd turn South Park into a wall-to-wall musical: 14 tunes, each evoking a familiar Broadway style. Cartman's perky Kyle's Mom's a Bitch echoes Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, with choruses in fake Chinese, Dutch and French. Saddam could be an Arabic fiddler on the roof as he struts his seedy charm in I Can Change. Satan has a hilariously solemn ballad in the Disney-cartoon mode; like...
...Ally McBeal, she's so cute you sometimes want to throttle her. On the New York stage just now--in a 35-min. monologue, the first of three short plays by filmmaker Neil LaBute titled Bash--she plays a woman who confesses to a horrific crime, yet by the end you want to give her a sympathetic hug. Sitting at a starkly lit table, apparently in a police station, Calista Flockhart doesn't take long to shed her Ally affectations. Talking in a flat Midwestern twang, she recounts with grueling matter-of-factness how she was seduced by a teacher...
