...cynic in everyone into submission. It might seem sappy, it's certainly not real and it is depressing even as it takes the audience along on its life-giving journey. To even hint at the ending would be unfair, but let's just say it puts a powerful spin on how the rest of the movie is remembered. Memory was never so bittersweet, but fairy tales were never so skillfully told...
...full title of the album is a poem, written in frustration by Apple after seeing a story about herself in Spin magazine that she deemed unfair. The complete title: "When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king/ What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight/ And he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring/ There's no body to batter when your mind is your might/ So when you go solo, you hold your own hand/ And remember that depth is the greatest of heights/ And if you know where...
...seller list for advice and how-to books. Dr. Robert Atkins, at 69 still the reigning guru of the movement, is back on the charts with Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution. Other low-carb diet books jamming the shelves include The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet and a plateful of spin-offs by Rachael and Richard Heller, Protein Power by Drs.

Gore has explicitly said he's "throwing away" his prepared text. To broadcast his soul searching, he has released his Vietnam letters. His campaign has even leaked Gore's handwritten text of an ad to show he's not consultant...
...John Goodman as Larry enters with his overweight working man's charm and bravado, and the audience is fooled into thinking this will be the routine buddy-cop movie with jolly, fat guy exchanging caustic one-liners with his thinner, but emotionally more substantive, partner. However, as the wheels spin out, the film takes the audience along for a more complex, hellish ride that visits death, madness, and despair on every street corner. Ving Rhames as Marcus brightens the movie with a comic volubility that the heavy film so badly needs. He is a smooth talking paramedic...
