...takes is a doe-eyed stare and the ejaculation of a deep-throated "Girl..."to whip millions of middle-schoolers into pubescent lust, but that effortlessness bespeaks true art. Indeed, it became clear to the most prestigious publications that the Backstreet Boys had something unique that their predecessors lacked, even The New Kids on the Block (and who ever thought they'd go out of style?). The Boys soon dominated the magazines of the avant-garde--Teen People, YM, and the great standard-bearer of them all, Tiger Beat...
...Name Is Joe basically traces the implicitly painful and Damoclean progress of the recovering alcoholic. It's not like there are regular scenes of stare-offs with bottles, or moments of temptation and ultimate white-knuckled resolve in front of seedy liquor stores next to check cash-ins. Loach instead wisely lets Joe's successes speak for themselves, their very modesty giving them a fragility; at one point Joe's safe wallpapering gig almost spins into disaster when a welfare agent snaps telephoto pics to expose his outside earnings (Joe paints the agent's car).

...public scrutiny hasn't been this intense since the first weeks of the scandal. Some of it isn't so bad. When she walked into a Los Angeles haunt, Lewinsky got a chorus of cheers.

...that swirl out of the orchestra pit in I Wanna Be a Dancin' Man. For all its compulsive flair, Fosse is cold and enigmatic at the core, as glittering as a perfect diamond--and hard enough to cut glass. What makes it work is its maker's willingness to stare into the abyss, backed up by the taut, pellucid brilliance of the company's dancing, Andrew Bridge's vibrant lighting and the perfect set and costumes of Santo Loquasto, who has conjured up a hundred clever variations on Fosse's beloved basic black...
...LaRussa, who has been McGwire's manager, in Oakland and in St. Louis, for all but 18 months of the player's 12-year career. "And he did this with the whole world watching." Fifteen minutes or so before game time, "Mark would withdraw from the clubhouse horseplay and stare into his locker. You'd see him, and you'd know he was spacing out. It was not a good time to talk to him." McGwire would simply gaze ahead, concentrating on the game to come, lost in the intensity of his focus. During batting practice, with tens of thousands...
