...naturally and so strikingly that the audience is taken aback, both startled and pulled along to see what's coming next. Lamar infuses the role with such power, such a sureness in the timbre of his voice, that he truly seems caught up and twisted between two worlds. His stare, even in searching the audience, somehow remains within himself. As he sweats under the lights, the audience belives him to be the genius son of a pitful prostitute, a freakish "one-eyed man in the kingdom of the blind...
...Rahway, N.J., chemists at Merck & Co., the country's biggest prescription drug manufacturer, stare into video display computer terminals at brightly colored, twisting geometric shapes reminiscent of an alien virus in a science-fiction epic.

Jaclyn Smith is a stunner and a competent actress; as J.F.K., James Franciscus brings crinkled eyes and a Boston accent that...
...moments of anger both stand out clearly--but he can't compare to Streep's magic. Streep, as the Scarlet Woman of Lyme Regis, has to convey an obscure, flighty vulnerability, always looking away from the camera and Smithson. And always she has at her disposal that piercing stare--a private look that lets the inner fires shine through the private mists. She builds an impenetrable wall around herself, riddle within mystery inside enigma, and then pierces it with that glance...
