...have forgotten how influential his International Foundation for Internal Freedom (pronounced If, If) was and how dangerous the government considered him. LEARY IS GOD was almost as popular a button on campus as peyote was in the mid-'60s. It wasn't just the kids who fell under the spell of Leary and LSD, but Establishment figures as well: Cary Grant, Steve Allen and musician Maynard Ferguson, not to mention TIME magazine founder Henry Luce and his wife, playwright and diplomat Clare Boothe Luce...

"Editing should be invisible," says Robert Wise, an editor on Citizen Kane before he became a director, "so that the whole comes together in a strong, effective piece that carries the audience away...
...guess eponymous characters spell success--four out of five of the best actor nominees play characters referred to in their film's title (Sean Penn is the "Dead Man Walking"). That may get you the nomination but not the award. The favorite in this race is Nicolas Cage for his role in "Leaving Las Vegas." And he would be my choice as well. Richard Dreyfuss? Big deal, so he ages 30 years in two hours in "Mr. Holland's Opus." Anthony Hopkins? Good, but not good enough; and he just won not long ago for "Silence of the Lambs." Massimo...
