...George, the caustic, cynical master of revels, Burton is superb, shrewdly measuring out his powerhouse talent in a part written for a far less heroic actor. A muffled drum sounded against the din of crashing china, he joylessly endures pain and joylessly inflicts it with the hollow stare of a man so sick of life that he cannot even relish his final vindictive triumph...
...only a water pistol, but it made its point. Raquel Welch doesn't mind stares, but she likes to choose the time and the place. The time is now, but the place is pictures-the kind that move and the kind that stand still and stare back. Only last week she was simultaneously on the covers of no fewer than eight European magazines.

This year the festival is 20 years old, but it is still deep in the throes of adolescence: serious and intense one moment, strained and silly the next...
Instead of finding the kind of teacher who seeks what Harvard College Dean John Monro calls "a mind-to-mind confrontation" with students, undergraduates often stare across 30 rows of seats at a listless scholar reading from his own textbook and begrudging the time spent away from his esoteric research. In smaller classes, students are likely to meet some harassed teaching assistant absorbed in his specialized graduate studies, sometimes not even teaching in his own sphere of knowledge. "We have sought out ability with football quarterbacks, we are beginning to do it with executives and musicians, but we haven...
