...What bothered me was the fussy and ponderous direction by Ian Rickson. From the famous first line, "Why do you always wear black?" - which is broken in two when the character to whom it is spoken, Masha, silences the speaker mid-sentence with an impatient wave of her hand - I knew we were in trouble.

A new mileage-award policy takes effect Dec. 31: Short-haul flights, which once earned fliers a minimum of 500 mileage points, will now earn points equal only to the actual miles flown. Super-elite gold and platinum AAdvantage members, however, will still receive the 500-point minimum...
