...amorous dentist and his sweetheart, Gloria, are entrancing in their vivid representation of the absurdities of love, liking and all the intermediate emotions. Chloe Leamon, however, was perhaps not an ideal choice for the part of Gloria. Leamon is entirely credible as a woman contemptuous of passion, but she fails to portray adequately Gloria's descent from feminism to femininity...
Maybe it takes one to know one. Only a chronic rubber-check artist, after all, is likely to applaud the sweetheart deal Congress cut for itself with its own private bank. And only sophists are likely to go along with the argument that accepting bundles of money from political-action committees is not tantamount to taking bribes. Congress's refusal to consider real reform of its campaign-finance system makes sense only to other professional politicians, for many of whom retention of power is the paramount goal...
...fighting word. When we leave our homes to go to work, we assume an impersonal role like "teacher," "secretary" or "judge." We may even don a special costume (black robes, skirted suit) to get the point across: "This is the public me -- not the mommy or the sweetheart or the wife, but the secretary or the judge."

(Jose Fonseca, a partner of the British agency Models1, calls her "the Madonna of the modeling world.") For example, first Meisel shot her with a broad smile...
...soap opera set in a small Ohio town, mothers greet their returning soldier boys with "your favorite pie" and chide their kids with quaint cliches like, "You move as slow as molasses in January." Not that there isn't trouble in this paradise. One veteran comes home to a sweetheart who has fallen in love with his brother. There are stirrings of race and sex discrimination as well. A black veteran applies for work at the local factory but is told the only opening is for a janitor. A widowed mother is fired from her factory job to make room...
