Lynne Cheney is a very conservative woman - perhaps even more conservative than her husband, who's hardly the poster boy for moderate Republicans. And as Dick Cheney's appointment to the No. 2 spot on the GOP ticket starts to sink in, there's a growing realization - among Republicans and Democrats alike - that Lynne's penchant for right-wing ideology could be a major factor in the campaign...
...moviegoer's pulse racing with anxiety. So 007 went airborne off a ski slope. Lethal Weapon's Danny Glover sat on a bomb-rigged toilet seat. But until now, no one had set a teaser scene in a Nazi death camp, where gaunt Jews trudge to their doom. A boy, torn from his parents, goes into a seizure, and the camp gates are bent open. Aha!

Thus begins a lovely friendship, tested to the breaking point in a Spanish village at the beginning of the Civil War. This art-house weepie, based on stories by Manuel Rivas, is impeccably Miramaxian in its Bambi-eyed child, its liberal attitude and its emotion-cuing score. O.K., but we fell for it--for the deft mood setting and the canny vignettes of young love and adult rancor...
