Ness is even more radically redefined. Mamet says he sees him as a lone town tamer of Western legend. De Palma has evoked the name of John Ford to suggest the classic qualities he was aiming for. And Costner has something of the grave beauty Gary Cooper used to bring to these roles...
...winners of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor announced last week were an eclectic roll call of America's ethnic heritage; among the recipients were Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Walter Cronkite and Muhammad Ali.

The bad news is that many patients are more damaged by their therapists...
