...York City: Being a city boy, I admit my bias, but there's nothing like running Central Park's 9.6-km loop (on dirt trails when possible) or a few times around the reservoir. The best times of all are on cold weekdays, when most people are at work, and on spring weekends...
...entertain as much as the blood-and-camp festival that is “Planet Terror.” Tarantino’s self-reflexivity is a bit too humorless, his dialogue too talky.

...surprise here. The director's four or five previous features - Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and the Kill Bill tandem - paid elaborate homage to, and ran elegant twists on, action films by otherwise-forgotten journeymen who were in no recognized sense auteurs; they were no-teurs.

Thundering down the Han River valley, the water would quickly reach Seoul, 80 miles to the southwest, threatening the lives and property...
Despite the continuing revelations and uproar, Reagan fervently believes that his Administration can recover from this crisis, that there is still a reservoir of affection for him. Last week he took his firmest step yet toward coming to grips with the affair. Avoiding the befuddlement and bitterness that had marked his earlier statements on the scandal, he delivered a terse four-minute address from the Oval Office on Tuesday in which he 1) announced the choice of a distinguished new National Security Adviser; 2) urged the naming of an independent counsel to investigate the affair; 3) supported congressional requests...
