...quickly mobilized to find ways around the legislation, establishing all sorts of loophole groups that fell under the radar of soft-money restraints. The Swift Boat Veterans and their Texan philanthropists are simply a flagrant example of the way in which these groups are succeeding in their efforts to skirt rules and manipulate the media...
...reader is left in limbo not only as to whether these two star-crossed lovers will overcome their differences to find romance, but also as to whether they can balance their own personal activities in their hectic lives. For her, will keeping up with music lessons, chemistry labs, short-skirt fashion tips and HSA reading requirements keep her from such mundane activities as bathing? For him, will his athlete friends ever accept his metrosexual sense of style? These are the issues with which any student can be found wrestling daily, in some form or another.

...nearly 60 years after that, Heye bought just about every Indian artifact he could get his hands on--Kwakiutl doorposts, Mayan jade idols, Lenape wampum belts, Nootka whaleboats, plus every kind of headdress, breastplate and beaded skirt.

Guevara may be the heart of the film, but Granado - warm, witty and full of life - is its soul. De la Serna tackles the role of skirt-chasing, wise-cracking Granado with mischievous glee. And why shouldn't he? This is, after all, his story, too. In the great tradition of buddy movies, Guevara and Granado spend as much time arguing as they do hugging, and it's a joy to watch. No doubt it's their...
