...there, mother and child, under a gray bench whose trunk was engraved with dozens of hearts and initials. Stretched on the ground was another fawn, and I realized that the doe had just finished twinning. The second fawn was still wet, still unrisen. Here was a scene of rare sylvan splendor, in one of my five favorite boroughs, and I couldn't have asked for more...
...splendid premise, and a dramatic dilemma. Except for a few oafishly drawn media sharpies, everyone in Romero's Paisley pageant is so nice that no true conflict arises. The movie begins in a splash of delirious lyricism-King William (Ed Harris), naked, birching himself clean in a sylvan lake before mounting his trusty motorsteed-then bogs down in 145 minutes of psychological verismo. The writer-director wants to present rounded, sympathetic characters but never allows them to develop beyond the caricatures in Reel 1. Romero, whose early films displayed the carnographic brio of the E.C. horror comic books...
Mike Watson, on the way to his fifth two-goal game this season, narrowed UVM's margin to two at 8:03 of the second stanza, picking up the rebound of a Ken Code blast from the two point and stuffing it past Cat netminder Sylvan "Yes There Are Two of Us" Turcotte...

Standouts in the almost uniformly excellent company include Thomas Derrah's lightning-tongued Touchstone and Richard Spore as the older shepherd Corin, with a voice as flat as Indiana.

...Welsh village of Blaenau Ffestiniog, near which, 40 years ago, the National Gallery secreted its paintings to save them from the blitz. Nash assembles his sculptures from rough tree branches, trunks and slate. His projects include a sculpture of growing trees, topiarized into the form of a dome, a sylvan abstraction that will take 30 years to reach its intended dimensions. What seems so fetching in his work is not just its titles, which are antic (who could not be charmed by a pair of boughs, their twiggish arms laid over each other, called Cuddling Branches?), but its unpretentious dialogue...
