...taken Robbins's "Fancy Free" and etched it as On The Town in 1949; "West Side Story" he decided to do himself. Or nearly so; Robbins was teamed with Robert Wise as codirectors. They hated each other (when the duo received the Best Director Oscar jointly that year, neither acknowledged the other in his speech), but the child was beautiful. Russ Tamblyn's a dervish, Natalie Wood's a dream, and that finger-snapping? Gang war -- or Shakespeare, for that matter -- doesn't get any prettier...
...John Garang's SPLA has been successful recently, opening a new front in the northeast. Officially the rebels are fighting for self-rule, but their private agenda has always included a slot for outright independence. These days Garang may hope to conquer the whole country, but so far, neither side has been able...
...Howard, but a scary Redbeard. In his red Cardinal uniform, with red Oakley sunglasses and his bright red goatee, McGwire is more frightening than Carrot Top. McGwire, more than Ruth, strips the game bare. Cro-Magnon man didn't court the media or haggle over free-agent contracts, and neither does Big Mac. He comes to the plate to the tune of the Guns 'N' Roses war dance Welcome to the Jungle. After a home run, he jogs around the bases with his head down, and he takes a curtain call only when the fans...
...Neither Kieslowski nor Piesiewicz was a practicing Catholic. They were interested in examining the relevance of old laws in a Catholic country in a postmoral age. Decalogue, Five, which was made into a longer piece called A Short Film About Killing, shows two brutal, useless murders. In the first a drifter, for no special reason, strangles a taxi driver; the scene lasts seven excruciating minutes. In the second the killer is hanged by the state; that execution takes only a moment, but it is no less ugly or vindictive. The state, like individuals, has few reasons, many excuses. Kieslowski absolves...
Insecure with the conflict that England has studiously avoided on the home front, both sides--whites and blacks alike--have behaved like irascible children on the playing fields. A blow from one side incites a retaliation by the other, but neither will voice the undeniable truth: England must move into the 21st century. It must change its image of an old boys club where highly-educated, aristocratic men play at ruling the world and admit to what it really is--a nation with more poor than rich and a large population of black citizens who deserve a voice...
