Kasowitz: "Mr. Comey has now admitted that he is one of these leakers."
How is releasing your own personal memos "leaking"? 🙈
"In his anger ... Mr. Trump may have actually made himself the target of an investigation."
"A tower to house 100,000 people."
Nice-looking watches! Nowhere in the article is a price ever mentioned. As my father used to say,
If you have to ask, you can't afford it!
I love A. O. Scott.
"You've no doubt been told that if you can't say something nice, you shouldn't say anything at all. If I followed that rule, I'd be unemployed."
"This [film] is an unholy mess."
"When a caper goes wrong, the two call in an airstrike on an Iraqi village -- I guess that's something people are doing for kicks nowadays ..."
"She gets inside his head, which is awkward ... because it's such an empty place."
"[A]n archaeologist of the future might tentatively decode as jokes ..."
"It will be argued that this one was made not for the critics but for the fans. Which is no doubt true. Every con game is played with suckers in mind."
Does anyone else remember when Tom Cruise was vaguely interesting?
"The protagonist, Eddie (played by the androgynous entertainer Peter, later featured in Akira Kurosawa's 1985 'Ran' ...)"
Peter's role in "Ran" is pretty big -- Kurosawa brilliantly let Peter do his thing, while keeping his unusual character faithful to the story. His scenes with Nakadai fire the film along towards its amazing conclusion ...
And finally,

Page 36 NEW YORK STUDENT HELD
"A senior at the University of Miami who said he wanted to be an F.B.I. agent was held by Federal authorities today for allegedly growing marijuana."
He was just practicing busting himself, so he'd be real good at it when he finally got his badge.
"The German freighter Haussa, which was built in a Nazi shipyard in 1942 and has languished in New York Harbor since the war's end as an American war prize, will fly the Israeli flag in Brooklyn next week."
Ship karma.
"Mr. Truman's warning was delivered in the course of a White House conference with key men from the Capitol. It was called to discuss prospects for speedy action on legislative renewal of the Defense Production Act of 1950. Effective portions of the law expire June 30."
Way to get your bill passed with massive hyperbole!
"[T]here is a feeling in military circles ... that a cease-fire is more likely now than at any previous time.
This view has been enhanced by reports that Mao Tse-tung, Chinese Communist leader, has newly publicized an 'essay' written in 1937 emphasizing that a revolutionary leader must be able to switch policies at a moment's notice. This may be an indication that a Chinese offer to negotiate the end of the hostilities is being prepared."
They were taken in like this time and time again.
