...this Midnight is worth seeing for fabulous performances like these, not to mention the beautiful footage of Savannah, the uncredited star of the show. Best to sit back and soak up the Southern sun (which Eastwood manages to capture quite beautifully), then steadily tune out everything Cusack says and does. What will emerge is the real spirit of Berendt's Savannah, simultaneously anarchic and genteel--a cocktail potent enough to survive even the worst ravages of Hollywood hackery...

Clinton did not want the summit to appear too cozy to domestic audiences, and he did not want Jiang simply to soak up the glory and prestige the ceremonies in Washington would provide him.

Music stores sell and play American tunes. On Vorosmarty Ter, the main square downtown, tourists sit and soak in the "authentic" Hungarian atmosphere with Toni Braxton's "Another Sad Love Song" in their ears, piped in by an outdoor cafe. Television is a hodgepodge of local programming, English-language shows on The Cartoon Network and CNN, and a host of American programs, from "Saved by the Bell" to "Married With Children," dubbed...
