After this demoralizing last chance, it seemed that Yale lost its momentum. The Crimson dominated the final minutes of the second half. The pace of the game slowed somewhat, as Harvard focused on protecting its lead, rather than increasing...
...fascinating story, though somewhat disgusting, all around, from a moral point of view, being mostly about money and therefore--considering all the ambient death and suffering--weirdly beside the point. It is a little difficult, despite Orey's exertions on behalf of the antitobacco lawyers, to find heroes in the drama. Riches are redistributed from one class of the venal to another. Mississippi's Medicaid legal team is awarded fees of $1.43 billion. Dick Scruggs, a leader of the team, buys himself a bigger private plane and a $200,000 Bentley; he trades in his 61-ft. motor yacht...

For a time as I watched (from somewhat farther away), I agreed -- snowed by the film's acting prowess, its wit and its elegance. American Beauty seems to be full of big, revolutionary ideas: that beauty is a whole other world behind images, that we create the rules we live by, that we have caged ourselves and can set ourselves...
