...leaders are pushing for a more limited use of force, Albright is a fervent believer in using U.S. power overseas, assisting in the overthrow of repressive regimes and punishing human rights violators. She went so far as to ask General Colin Powell, "What's the point in having this superb military you're always talking about if we can't use it?" Clearly then, it does not seem Albright plans to solve most of her foreign policy endeavors by "talking things...
...cast. Silver-screen legend George Segal is brilliant as Gregory's womanizing buddy, a suave and sarcastic anthropology professor who admittedly prefers T-and-A over IQ: "I gave my last girlfriend a copy of Farewell to Arms--she thought it was a diet book."

Bill Knapp, Squier's lanky partner, was a top-notch writer and manager, while Tom Ochs, the firm's third partner, was a tough political operative. And Morris...
...film is, in an old phrase, beyond gorgeous: a feast whose splendor serves Almasy complex passions. The cast is superb: Binoche, with her thin, seraphic smile; Scott Thomas, aware of the spell she casts but not flaunting it; Fiennes, especially, radiating sexy mystery, threat shrouded in hauteur. Doom and drive rarely have so much stately star quality...
