...longer productive on a regular basis, Ripken is a part-timer hitting like one; through Thursday he was batting .209 with four homers and 25 RBIs in 51 games played. And that only compounds Hargrove's seemingly no-win situation...
...This fine film from a first-timer was matched by two excellent works by grand old Frenchmen. Jacques Rivette's Va savoir! (Who Knows!) is a romantic rondelay inspired by the plays of Carlo Goldoni and Luigi Pirandello, as six characters in search of adventure entangle themselves in a buoyant comedy of manners.
