...telling The Last Emperor's director that they loved the movie, they really loved it? Surely there were waves of affection breaking over the winners of the acting prizes: Cher (Moonstruck), Michael Douglas (Wall Street), Sean Connery (The Untouchables) and Olympia Dukakis (Moonstruck). But The Last Emperor, with its stern, sumptuous sprawl, more likely earned a decorous, distanced respect in a slim year.

Dr. Stern, you will give up your career for Melissa? Why of course...
...course! Mrs. Stern must have missed the feminist movement. The lawyers trying this case imposed their standards of motherhood on the witness by the questions they asked, but she acquiesced to their determinations by the answers she gave. Something has gone horribly wrong. Women never said they didn't want only to be mothers during the feminist revolution, they just said they didn't want only to be mothers.
