Consensus seems unlikely in the near future. For the best part of a year, a European Parliament committee has been holding hearings to establish a framework for cloning research. Last week, a resolution went before the Parliament that called for a moratorium on therapeutic cloning. But in the end - after 400 amendments, some of which contradicted each other - not even the resolution's originator could support...
While the cast works well together to establish a camaraderie, they do not seem completely believable as a cohesive family, not only because none of the central cast resembles each other, but also because each character is established as such an individual. The central figure of the ensemble is undoubtedly Gene Hackman, the only actor Anderson found “charming enough” to get away with addressing his wife’s African-American suitor Henry Sherman (Danny Glover) as “Coltrane.” He is genuinely delightful as he takes Chas’ repressed...

Also, the University still plans to establish a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) agreement with the city to compensate it for some of the loss. But as long as Harvard doesn’t pay the full rate on its property, the resulting shortfall could leave Watertown in the lurch...
