Chess, like mathematics and music, is a nursery for child prodigies. Great players often distinguish themselves at tender ages. Before he reached 14, the renowned champion Paul Morphy (1837-84) had reddened the faces of the best adults in his hometown of New Orleans. International Grand Master Samuel Reshevsky, when he was six, toured his native Poland playing two dozen opponents simultaneously and rarely losing. At 14, Bobby Fischer, the game's reclusive genius, won both the U.S. junior and senior championships. But none of these men quite prepared the chess world for the triple-threat Polgar sisters of Budapest...
Welcome to regional-theater cinema, where locale is a crucial character, the pace is measured in eye drops, and everyone on both sides of the camera aspires to the ordinary. As playwright (The Trip to Bountiful) and screenwriter (Tender Mercies), Horton Foote has backpacked over this terrain for two generations. On Valentine's Day, the prequel (though not the equal) of last year's 1918, marks one more stroll through Foote's family plot.

Meese's remarks were a response to the state of Texas' execution in September of Charles Rumbaugh Jr., who robbed and killed an Amarillo jeweller in 1975 at the tender age of 17. Rumbaugh's death by lethal injection was the first execution since 1964 of someone sentenced as a minor. Last month, Rumbaugh was succeeded by South Carolina's Terry Roach, who was convicted--also at the age of 17--for criminal sexual assault and two counts of murder. Thirty-one other death-row convicts await capital punishment for crimes committed before the age of legal maturity. Sixteen...
LISZT: Sonata in B Minor; Two Legends; The Blessing of God in Solitude. Francois-Rene Duchable, piano (Erato; LP or CD). Franz Liszt, the archetypal piano virtuoso, wrote only one sonata for his instrument, but what a sonata it is! Bril liant, bombastic, tender, devilishly diffi cult, structurally innovative, the nearly half-hour work is the summa of romantic piano technique, and every modern pianist must test his mettle with it to claim Liszt's mantle. Most opt for a straightforward, flashy approach, hoping to conquer the piece by sheer dexterity. Duchable, a young Frenchman with an especially rich tone...
...THREE VERSES of the Grinch song during these crucial scenes were eliminated. Since you were not able to enjoy these famous lines last Saturday night, a few are reprinted here: "You're a foul one Mister Grinch... You have termites in your smile... You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile." Would have been better in the show...
