But in 2009, as she pants out her lines and flaps about frenetically - like Courteney Cox in Cougar Town, Thurman approaches portraying a 40-something as if she's auditioning for the part of a winded windmill - she just seems clueless. Or like a woman who didn't consider her choices carefully enough, locked herself in a prison of her own device and is now snarling like a caged tiger...

However, for Waters and Sollors, the decision to create “Literary History” as a book, first and foremost, was a natural one. According to Kaufman, the obvious reason behind such a move is that the well-respected academics and published authors in the group of contributors are part of a culture that holds printed editions in higher esteem than Internet versions...
...sense is that eventually they should [digitize] if only to make it accessible for the very substantial fraction of the world reading public, including a fair amount of America, that won’t have ready access to the print version,” Buell says, referring particularly to universities in the People’s Republic of China as one example of a potential market which will likely not be able to capitalize on the information in the work because of minimal acquisition budgets. “There would be a case where some virtualization strategy would be well...
