...sitcom with a genuinely intelligent character. At least, a character who didn't have some serious personality flaw to go along with the brainpower. No, that would threaten the average American. All those smart characters must have something wrong with them. They make the perfect kind of despicable foil--superior enough to resent, yet inferior enough to dismiss.

...impressive, almost a revelation. This is by far the best performance she has given on film. She mixes the earthiness of her Mona Lisa Vito in "My Cousin Vinny" with the delicacy and luminosity of her Faith in "Only You," and comes up with something altogether different and superior. Tomei gained 20 pounds for the role and has never looked better--voluptuous, sensual, kinetic and delicately beautiful. In addition, her accent is impeccable.

While we should find Senator Specter disturbing, we shouldn't worry about him too much. In the Republican primary, he will be crushed by the superior intellectual forces and financial resources of the other candidates. Having heard Specter speak will only increased my enjoyment as I watch him get diced and devoured. Bon appetit...

What are Earth Shoes? They were the first shoes to be marketed with a "negative heel"-meaning their heels were actually lower than their raised toes. This was said to mimic the effect of walking in sand and to make for orthopedically superior posture. In appearance, Earth Shoes pioneered the flanged, boxy look that epitomized much '70s design and can be seen in such later icons of the decade as Bruce Jenner's hair and the A.M.C. Pacer...
