...Wind with Woody Allen as Rhett and Phyllis Diller as Scarlett [March 12]. Personally, I prefer to think of it as the renovation of a historical landmark that if left alone would soon fall into decay and oblivion. Even the White House has to have a coat of paint now and then...
Each day millions of Americans talk, scream, confront, jump, paint, dance, strip, tickle and grope their way toward emotional fulfillment. They are sampling one or more of the 200 or so therapies and countless pseudo therapies that are now being peddled in the U.S. as panaceas for unhappiness, anxiety or worse.

By the high school you can still see the word "press" painted on the concrete in white paint, marking off the boundaries behind which cameramen and reporters strained to watch the buses roll in and out. The streets aren't spotless, the houses aren't beautiful, and many buildings are boarded up. But for a week every March, when things would normally be at their grayest and grittiest, Southie changes her clothes. And with the green of the leprechauns...
