Thirteen years since his son stood on the sidelines as the sneaky bellboy, Walter Abbott will sit in the Stadium's stands this weekend us Steven Warren Abbott closes out a football career that began well before he dished out wet pigskins to frightening opponents...
...Charly, the flightly, tough-on-the-outside-soft-on-the-inside actress, Keaton is wonderful. Minus Woody Allen and Warren Beatty who tend to upstage her, Keaton's performance is genuinely fresh and appealing. Her ditzyness, which was overdone in Annie Hall and Manhattan, is put to good use here.

Now, with the publication of the monumental Churchill & Roosevelt: The Complete Correspondence, expertly edited by Rutgers History Professor Warren F. Kimball, the relationship between the two leaders emerges as more tempestuous, and correspondingly more interesting, than was generally believed. There are no shattering revelations, to be sure: the two Allies' archives were declassified in 1972, and many historians have tilled these fields. But to read the voluminous wartime...
