...Gena Rowlands had (still has) a face the camera can't stop watching. When she shows up in She's So Lovely to hear Penn murmur, "You're a very beautiful woman, and I haven't been around the kindness of women in some time," it's a sweet tribute from this generation of Method mesmerizers to the one who taught them...
...futuristic new album OK Computer (Capitol) is a bit like the troubled Russian space station Mir--it's a cool place to visit, but if you stay too long, things could start breaking down. The album's sound is refreshingly unique: long, meandering, melodic passages that take their own sweet time to work themselves out; jangling, spacey guitar work--all of it threaded together by singer Thom Yorke's yearning tenor, hitting and holding notes with almost operatic emotion.

Woods is, of course, Exhibit A, the longest hitter on the tour despite his tender age and slender build. But Els is also a prime example of the new athleticism. When President Clinton saw the 6-ft. 3-in. Els at Congressional, he commented, "Big, strong kid, isn't he? Looks like a linebacker...
