...exact. The pale halo I see is the reflection of my own headlights in the enveloping fog. It is 12:45 a.m. on Sunday morning. I have been driving since 10:30 p.m. Saturday. I turn off of I-95, onto Route 2A, southeastern Connecticut's very own boulevard of broken dreams, and then onto Mohegan Sun Boulevard, pipeline to the gaming phenomenon known as Mohegan Sun. After three tries driving up and down the strip, I finally find where I should be, the Winter Parking Lot. I leave the lot, step off the sidewalk and out onto the pavement...
...find that my fear at driving through the fog in the early morning hours was at least partly justified. The curves in the road are extremely sharp, and even in daylight, the way between the two casinos is poorly marked and often confusing. Back on Mohegan Sun Boulevard, I take my first real look at the complex's exterior. The place is a monstrosity. The efforts taken in appointing the interior have clearly been spared on the casino's outside. Again I find myself at the end of the Sun's strip. I turn into the Winter Parking...
...mention his bold leap into an Iowa mosh pit and the nationally televised exchange with Bauer on the morality of the decision, Campaign Diary caught up with Keyes at Applebee's in Manchester, N.H.

"Diversity does not mean blacks alone," says board member Marta Garcia. But one bright spot, for Latinos at least, is Resurrection Boulevard, a drama about four generations of a Latino family of boxers, scheduled to start on Showtime this summer. "This would not have sold to the networks," says creator Dennis Leoni. "Even big shots like Edward James Olmos haven't been able to get Latino shows on the air." That...
...allowing their suffering to be its own dramatic vehicle. Nonetheless, Anderson is a cinephile, and he is indebted here, as in all of his work, to other distinctive and established filmmakers, Altman especially. This film bears some obvious resemblance to Short Cuts not only in its Californian locale (Magnolia Boulevard is the main drag in the San Fernando Valley, where the film is set), but also in its spliced narrative and its use of overlapping dialogues, songs, and score. The director even subtly acknowledges the stylistic influence by casting classic Altman regulars Michael Murphy and Henry Gibson in small roles...
