...seems trivial. It’s an unexpectedly complex rumination on love and sexuality in a uniquely American context, where the tangible beauty of our mythic West collides with the hidden sores of a repressive social order. Lee’s film is incredibly literary, stunningly photographed, and features flawless performances from its typically unimpressive cast. The film’s screenplay is its greatest strength, despite its relative simplicity. Based on a short story by Annie Proulx and adapted by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana, the film has a literary punch rarely seen in Hollywood films. The dialogue...
This is not to say that Lewis’ work is flawless or that the theology of “Narnia” is particularly persuasive. There are serious problems in confusing the Biblical Jesus with Aslan the lion, and evil in the real world is never personified as clearly as it is in the White Witch and her coterie of demons and beasts. Lewis did not, however, write the “Chronicles” to be a finely tuned theological treatise; he wrote it as a children’s story. If one tries to read...
...assurance he says he has honed over the 40-odd years he has been dealing with diamonds, buying and selling some of the most expensive and famous stones in the world, including the 100.57-carat Star of America, an octagonal certified D-flawless; La Favorite, a historic 50.15-carat D-color, and the Idol's Eye, a 70.20-carat Golconda diamond with an extremely rare blue tint...

"It's not that Saloni isn't beautiful," clarifies Thakur, a former model. "It's that she's dark. Because...
...McDavitt also owns the single-season record for helpers with 18, a league-leading total she established in 2004. Sackovich, who helped anchor an at-times stellar Harvard backfield, is no stranger to distinction herself. The senior was second-team All-Ivy last year, as well. Knoche was literally flawless within the cage to begin her collegiate career, recording four straight shutouts to lead the nation in goals-against average (GAA). Although the latter part of the season took its toll, she wrapped up 2005 with a 1.5 GAA and a .794 save percentage. Princeton sophomore forward Paige Schmidt...
