...show tunes and sewing as they prepare five avid little girls for the 18th annual Little Miss Fresh Squeeze Preteen Talent Competition. They are also expected to be the most sensitive guys west of Dallas, tending to the emotional needs of a teacher (Illeana Douglas), a bank president (Ally Walker) and a sheriff (William H. Macy, great as always...
...seat in 1962, his opponent famously said of this youngest, least distinguished Kennedy, "If his name were Edward Moore, [his] candidacy would be a joke." In this season of George W. Bush, a pleasant enough Governor of modest achievement, one is forced to ask, "If his name were George Walker, would he be a presidential candidate, let alone the runaway front runner for the Republican nomination...
...They also serve who must stand and wait for stardom. Mitchell was a Broadway journeyman before his galvanic performance as Coalhouse Walker in Ragtime. Yet even that role didn't win him quite the renown he deserved (he lost the Tony to Cabaret's Alan Cumming).

But Leakey and Walker readily acknowledge that they are studying two 5.5 million-year-old hominid teeth and a similarly ancient jaw fragment with an embedded tooth from a site in northern Kenya. "They look like australopithecines with lots of primitive features," Walker says, but there isn't enough evidence from these fossils alone to claim a new species...
