...more than a century, France's Perrier mineral water has been a familiar presence in Europe's toniest restaurants, glossiest spas and priciest specialty shops. The gaseous drink in the light green bottle-distinctively shaped like an Indian club-has somehow managed to retain an air of exclusivity even though Source Perrier has been for years the world's largest bottler of sparkling water; the company also owns such brands as Vichy and Contrexeville. Yet Perrier water has just about saturated the Western European market, and the rate of growth has been leveling...
...from the outside. Nothing else much matters. All the other undercurrents of prison life feed into this network of domination--the meals, the exchanges with guards, the vocational training programs. Every activity provides a chance to jockey for influence. Every bit of slang becomes a code-word. Every move somehow reflects on the prison hierarchy...
...cruel, aristocratic brilliance by Dirk Bogard; the casting could not have been better. Ellen Burstyn, meanwhile, does not quite convince as the lawyer's wife; she's supposed to growl like a trapped domestic pet and take gleeful pleasure in taking on a lover to spite her husband, but somehow Burstyn comes on like Dinah Shore trying to play Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate. The performances, however, are really peripheral to Resnais' fascination, haunting insights into fantasy, conveyed both in the movie's dialogue and in its visual composition.

If these same televised questions and answers could somehow have been transformed into a court of law, any reasonable jury would almost certainly have found Nixon guilty of participating in the crimes for which so many of his men were sentenced to prison...
...heart attacks every year, the large majority of them men. In fact, the risk of heart attacks among middle-aged men is five times as great as among their female counterparts. Why? For many years doctors suspected that the higher levels of estrogens-the female sex hormones -in women somehow protected them against heart attacks. Reason: it is only after menopause, when estrogen production drops, that the incidence of heart attacks begins to rise among women. Now a Columbia University internist has found evidence that undermines this theory...
