...pretty good bet that the Founding Fathers, in all of their deliberations in the sweltering summer of 1776, never called on the services of a "facilitator." Not so in Ballroom D of the Renaissance Hotel in Denver. There, a committee of the Green Party put the final touches on the group's platform.

...butterfly on a wheel. Even more disturbing is the unduly harsh attack on Branagh. In a time when filmmakers rely increasingly on technological tricks, Branagh tells a story with clarity and poetic imagery. Love's Labour's Lost, his riskiest venture yet, floats like a feather on a summer breeze. VIRGINIA WILHELM New York City...
