...western sky has turned a stunning emerald green, and huge hailstones are smashing on the truck's roof. It is 6:16 p.m. Moore pushes east as the hailstones, some of them literally the size of golf balls, threaten to crack our windshield. After plowing through a curtain of hail and rain, the truck turns south and breaks through the devastating storm. As it rolls through tiny Covington (pop. 605), every light in town blinks off and on, twice, because of storm-blown power lines. "Look for an escape route," Moore warns Moyer...

That is supposed to be the first public word of a decision, and few journalists have been able, or especially eager, to penetrate the court's curtain of secrecy...
Mariel Hemingway as Allen's 17-year-old lover suffers the same verbal excess. When Allen tells her he has found another woman, she responds, "We have laughs together. We have good times. Your concerns are my concerns. We have good sex." The curtain of the drama rips to reveal a scriptwriter desperately hanging more significance on the lines than they can handle...
