Uniquely, greater Washington's economy improves in both good times and bad. Not by magic. Public problems are to Washington what oil and gas are to Texas. In Washington the fuel crisis that is but a specter everywhere else takes the shape of a new Department of Energy. Somehow the city does not need to fear the economic cycles that batter the rest of a country. Why not? Well, as the New Republic put it, "Washingtonians live outside of the law of supply and demand...
...accounts for the power and merciless tension of the movie. Little is learned about Gavino's specific intellectual ambitions, much less about his love life (which, juding from the film itself, would appear to border on the nonexistent). The Tavianis are, in the end, obsessed, with one goal--to somehow convey the intensity of Gavino's determination to escape his imposed ignorance, and to document the extreme measures to which this unswerving resolve drives him.

Muhammad Ali careened across his stage, by turns as hopeful and despairing as his times. He is unlikely to go quietly into the past...
...public about the Marston case at his January 13 press conference? It is distressing that the American people have watched their born-again president lie and subsequently be caught on two cases involving Justice Department investigations. Equally upsetting is the arrogance marking Carter's explanations of his blatant deceptions. Somehow, the president wants us to believe he is uninformed or maybe he simply thinks we are naive. But to whitewash his sins by publicly denying any prior knowledge, and citing the news media as his only source of information on the two cases, is going...
