...Naomi S. Stern '97, who is just about to bound up the stairs to leave, says she finished her materials "an hour ago." Her strategy was to bid 940 points on one open-bidding company and apply to three closed ones...
...only time when the story diverges from its animated predecessor. Screenwriter John Hughes can't resist turning the film into a hybrid of one of his "Home Alone" movies, featuring a drawn-out sequence of physical comedy. De Vil's henchmen Horace and Jasper play the Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci roles, as they are flung through windows and into frozen ponds.

His early pictures, Element of Crime and Zentropa, were wondrously busy examples of cinematic Euroflash; here he goes for sweeping visual sentiment. He wants...
...truly undecided voter, I was disappointed by "Two Men, Two Visions." It should have appeared as a Time editorial. You showed pictures of the young faces of Bill Clinton's supporters vs. the older ones of Bob Dole's. You pictured the smiling, hopeful face of Clinton vs. the stern, bitter face of Dole. Then you drew several biased conclusions, such as Clinton's wanting to be more like us and Dole's wanting us to be more like him. MIKE PALMER Katy, Texas...
