...OSCARS CAN BE FAULTED FOR ANYthing, it's not for nominating obscure movies. Perhaps at its inception, popular films had the greatest artistic merit. But in a year in which intellectually devoid, flashy crowd pleasers (like 300 and Transformers) and crude, idiotic, supposed comedies (like Wild Hogs and Rush Hour 3) were among the highest-grossing films, how can Corliss justify suggesting that the awards go to more popular films?

When he talks healing, his crowds go wild; when Clinton talks about fighting, hers do. Her advantage is that the party has its own military-industrial complex: the union bosses and activists and local pols who are well practiced at the art of war and have the scars to show for attempts at compromise. In lining up behind Clinton, they were...
