...Missouri bushwhackers, Jake Roedel (watchful Tobey Maguire) and Jack Bull Chiles (Skeet Ulrich, parading what may be star quality or merely attitude), start out with a few ideals--war's first casualty. They also serially entertain the young widow Sue Lee (Jewel, the singer). They are idiot savants at making war--without flair or even instinct but with an awful proficiency. At making love they are just idiots. They haven't had the example of the movies or even mush literature to teach them courtship. They hide their feelings as clumsily as they express them.

This is especially applicable to Augustine, who entrances the audience with his sincere display of emotion in an extremely complex and confusing second act.

...Gandhi's Congress party and its allies. In an election where no significant policy issues were at stake, Congress had hoped the allure of the Gandhi name would restore its fortunes. Although the BJP mercilessly beat the drum of her foreign birth - she's the Italian-born widow of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi - what may have counted more tellingly against her was the BJP's record and the timing of the poll. Last year Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had rallied the nation behind his government when it tested its first nuclear weapons; then he did the same early...
