...series: 2hr.24. This one, the first true Bond sequel, is the shortest, at 1hr.46, and it wastes no time shifting into high gear. It begins in the middle of a car chase, with Bond's Aston Martin being pursued by a convoy of nasty cars on the hairpin turns of a mountain road outside Siena, Italy. Doesn't matter if the bad guys have enough artillery to stock a Third World uprising; Bond's superior driving skills, and the series' reluctance to kill off its hero in the first reel, make him the victor and survivor.

But Kurylenko, a lovely Russian-Ukrainian hybrid who is oddly duskied up to look vaguely Latina, is a whiz at raising Quantum's temperature and gradually luring Bond out of his stolid shell. It's a pleasure to watch this model-turned-actress, also seen briefly illuminating Max Payne, turn into a model actress. Here's one Bond girl who's a richly appealing woman, with or without Bond...
...impossible to say exactly how deep that hole will turn out to be - which makes it hard to say exactly how much of the next President's energy will have to go toward pulling us out of it.

...difficulty in finding an Attorney General who had paid all her taxes. He antagonized the White House press corps and seemed unsure in his dealings with the Democrats who ran Congress. He took his eye off the ball overseas and let a police action in Somalia turn into a national embarrassment. The Republicans saw all this, hauled themselves up from the canvas and, led by Gingrich, pounded Clinton and the Democrats in 1994. Eventually, Clinton delivered on much that he promised: he put 100,000 cops on the street, the budget was balanced, "welfare as we know it" was ended...
...course starts in Staten Island and finishes in Central Park; there are two good places in Manhattan to cheer the athletes - along First Avenue, between East 59th Street and the East 90s, and along Fifth Avenue south of East 110th Street, until the exhausted marathoners make their turn into the Park. If you're trying to get out of New York City, be aware of street and bridge closings, detailed on the marathon's website, where you can also find a course...
