...such questions have dogged Harvard's senior quarterback since he was scarcely big enough to palm a pigskin. Buckley doesn't make any special effort to find silver linings, nor does he deny that his career has had its share of rough edges...
Consider high school, for example. Local pundits say Buckley's junior year at Marblehead High School ranks as one of the the best season performances in recent history.

Edna Mae is just as surprised and troubled by her healing gift as her neighbors are; and Burstyn helps the moviegoer share in this discovery. She may not walk on water, but she still performs a miracle of sorts: turning this ambitious, split-level movie into a personal triumph...
