...charm to unhinge righteous principle. And such is the power of very solid genre filmmaking to disarm an audience's disbelief. Westerns, as we all know, are a disused movie form, and part of this film's appeal lies simply in returning us to the thrilling days of yesteryear, to the beauty of spare narrative played out in a stark landscape. 3:10 is, of course, a remake of the 1958 movie that starred Van Heflin and Glenn Ford, which was, in my opinion, not as good as a lot of people thought, mostly because the mumbly Ford could only...
Business has wised up. Now some auto manufacturers train salespeople to aim their pitches at women, going for the softer sell rather than the hard-nosed, macho wrangling of yesteryear.

But there is far more independence in the 50-member chamber now, with nine newcomers, including the wife of Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. And many are promising to hold Daley firm on his twin promises to wipe out homelessness and create affordable housing...
...magazine “H Bomb” lost its student group status last month because of incomplete registration, the collective gasp was far quieter in the magazine’s death than it was in its birth. The images and the words from an activities fair of yesteryear are still fresh in my mind, when the main selling point for “H Bomb”—all two issues of it—was the chatter it generated beyond Harvard’s gates...
