Women's film-making, like recent women's literature, is, by and large, dominated by those with a penchant for subjective reporting--documentation of a personal struggle, digging into one's past for an explanation of the present. At times, this genre, this "let-me-spill-out-my-guts-to-you", can become tedious and self-indulgent (witness Ms. Magazine). At times, however, it can be extremely effective...

But the silverworking equipment is all in a closet now, a closet Irons doesn't dare open for fear it will all spill out onto the floor of his already-crowded apartment...

This may seem slow, but it is between ten and 100 times faster than the four other strains of oil-eating microbes can work...

If growth forecasts, now in the 7% to 8% range for the fourth quarter, prove correct, the U.S. recovery should spill over, through trade, more rapidly than expected-especially to Canada. Europe should also get a special boost from the spectacular and generally unexpected recovery of the dollar on foreign exchange markets. Reacting to rising interest rates in the U.S., foreign exchange dealers have bid the dollar up 7% to 8% against the major European currencies...
