<unk> ii was painted in oils by the playwright in N
after years of decline <unk> in france showed a N N <unk> last year with N more couples <unk> <unk> in N than in the previous year the national statistics office said
but the number of <unk> last year N was still well below the N registered in N the last year of increasing <unk>

as an actor charles lane is n't the <unk> of charlie <unk> 's spirit
steve martin has already laid his claim to that
but it is mr. lane as movie director producer and writer who has been <unk> with <unk> <unk> 's little tramp in a contemporary way
in N as a film student at the purchase campus of the state university of new york mr. lane shot a place in time a <unk> black-and-white film about a <unk> artist a man of the streets
now N years later mr. lane has revived his artist in a <unk> movie called sidewalk stories a <unk> piece of work about a <unk> tramp
of course if the film contained dialogue mr. lane 's artist would be called a homeless person
so would the little tramp for that matter
i say contained dialogue because sidewalk stories is n't really silent at all
<unk> marc <unk> a college friend of mr. lane 's who earns his living playing the double bass in classical music <unk> has prepared an exciting <unk> score that tells you what the characters are thinking and feeling far more precisely than <unk> or even words would
much of mr. lane 's film takes a highly <unk> view of life on the streets though probably no more <unk> than mr. <unk> 's notion of the tramp as the <unk> free spirit
<unk> in lovely black and white by bill <unk> the new york streets of sidewalk stories seem benign
on wall street men and women walk with great purpose <unk> one another only when they <unk> for <unk>
the artist hangs out in greenwich village on a strip of sixth avenue <unk> by <unk> <unk> and other <unk> <unk>
this clearly is not real life no crack dealers no <unk> men selling four-year-old copies of <unk> no one <unk> up in a <unk> box
the artist has his routine
he spends his days <unk> <unk> or trying to
at night he returns to the <unk> building he calls home
his life including his <unk> with a competing <unk> artist seems <unk>
he is his own man
then just as the tramp is given a blind girl to cure in city lights the artist is put in charge of returning a <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> whose father has been murdered by <unk> to her mother
this <unk> child turns out to be a blessing and a <unk>
she gives the artist a sense of purpose but also <unk> him to the serious <unk> of his <unk> life
the <unk> at the <unk> mission seem far <unk> when he has to <unk> a little girl into one of them at night
to further load the stakes mr. lane <unk> up a highly <unk> <unk> for the artist with a young woman who owns her own children 's shop and who lives in an expensive <unk> apartment building
this story line might <unk> more strongly if mr. lane had as strong a presence in front of the camera as he does behind it
mr. lane 's final purpose is n't to <unk> the artist 's <unk> existence
he has a point he wants to make and he makes it with a great deal of force
the movie ends with sound the sound of street people talking and there is n't anything <unk> or <unk> in those rough beaten voices
the french film maker <unk> <unk> has managed another kind of weird achievement with his story of women
he has made a harsh brilliant picture one that 's <unk> about a character who viewed from the most sympathetic <unk> would seem <unk>
yet this woman <unk> <unk> carries historical significance both as one of the last women to be executed in france and as a symbol of the <unk> government 's <unk>
while <unk> <unk> with the germans during world war ii in the deaths of thousands of resistance <unk> and <unk> its officials needed a <unk> <unk> <unk>
<unk> a <unk> <unk> was their woman
she became an <unk> <unk> and continued because it enabled her to buy <unk> cocoa and other <unk> <unk>
she was <unk> and in one <unk> job killed a client
her <unk> was <unk> and brief
although she was kind and <unk> to her children she was <unk> to her <unk> husband she openly brought her <unk> into their home
as presented by mr. <unk> and played with <unk> intensity by <unk> <unk> <unk> called <unk> <unk> in the film was not a nice person
but she did n't deserve to have her head <unk> off
there is very little to recommend old <unk> a confused <unk> of the carlos <unk> novel of the mexican revolution
most of the picture is taken up with endless scenes of many people either fighting or eating and drinking to <unk> victory
i mention the picture only because many bad movies have a bright spot and this one has gregory peck in a <unk> loose and energetic portrayal of an old man who wants to die the way he wants to die
video tip before seeing sidewalk stories take a look at city lights <unk> 's tramp at his <unk>
boeing co. said it is discussing plans with three of its regular japanese suppliers to possibly help build a larger version of its popular N <unk>
the discussions are still in preliminary stages and the specific details have n't been worked out between the seattle aerospace company and <unk> heavy industries ltd. mitsubishi heavy industries ltd. and fuji heavy industries ltd
the three japanese companies build the body sections of the N accounting for a combined N N of the aircraft
japanese press reports have speculated that the japanese contribution could rise to between N N and N N under the new program
if boeing goes ahead with the larger N the plane could hit the market in the mid-1990s
this is the year the negative ad for years a secondary presence in most political campaigns became the main event
the irony is that the attack commercial after getting a boost in last year 's presidential campaign has come of age in an <unk> election year with only a few <unk> scattered across the country
but in the three leading political <unk> of N the negative ads have reached new levels of <unk> raising fears that this kind of <unk> empty of significant issues is <unk> in a new era of campaigns without content
now says joseph <unk> a pioneer in political television the idea is to attack first last and always
a trend that started with the first <unk> of politics accelerated with the <unk> of the television age and became a <unk> art form in N has reached an entirely new stage
to get people 's attention these days says douglas <unk> a political consultant your tv ad needs to be bold and entertaining and more often than not that means <unk>
and unlike a few years ago you do n't even have to worry whether the ad is <unk>
in N as often as not the principal fights in the major campaigns are prompted by the ads themselves
take a look then at the main attack commercials that set the tone for tuesday 's elections in new york city new jersey and virginia
new york city
the screen <unk> with a small tight <unk> shot of david dinkins democratic candidate for mayor of new york city
david dinkins failed to file his income taxes for four straight years says a <unk> male voice
and then this television commercial paid for by republican rudolph giuliani 's campaign and produced by roger <unk> the master of negative tv ads really gets down to business
mr. dinkins the ad charges also failed to report his campaign contributions accurately <unk> his links to a failing insurance company and paid a convicted <unk> through a phony organization with no members no receipts and no office
david dinkins says the <unk> why does he always wait until he 's caught
nasty <unk> says john <unk> mr. dinkins 's issues director designed to <unk> a case of political corruption that simply does n't exist
<unk> by the giuliani ads mr. dinkins 's tv consultants robert <unk> and david <unk> finally <unk> a negative ad of their own
the screen shows two distorted <unk> photos presumably of two politicians
compare two candidates for mayor says the announcer
one says he 's for banning <unk> bullets
the other has opposed a ban on <unk> bullets
one claims he 's pro-choice
the other has opposed a woman 's right to choose
funny thing says the <unk> both these candidates are named rudolph giuliani
who 's telling the truth
everybody and nobody
it 's a classic situation of ads that are true but not always fully accurate
mr. dinkins did fail to file his income taxes for four years but he insists he voluntarily admitted the oversight when he was being considered for a city job
he was on the board of an insurance company with financial problems but he insists he made no secret of it
the city 's campaign finance board has refused to pay mr. dinkins $ N in matching funds because his campaign records are incomplete
the campaign has blamed these reporting problems on computer errors
and says mr. dinkins he did n't know the man his campaign paid for a <unk> effort had been convicted of <unk>
but say mr. dinkins 's managers he did have an office and his organization did have members
mr. giuliani 's campaign chairman peter powers says the dinkins ad is deceptive
the other side he argues knows giuliani has always been pro-choice even though he has personal reservations
they know he is generally opposed to <unk> bullets but that he had some reservations about the language in the legislation
virginia
democratic <unk> gov. douglas wilder opened his gubernatorial battle with republican marshall coleman with an abortion commercial produced by frank <unk> that analysts of every political <unk> agree was a tour de force
against a shot of <unk> <unk> on an american flag an announcer talks about the strong tradition of freedom and individual liberty that <unk> have <unk> for generations
then just as an image of the <unk> of thomas jefferson <unk> from the screen the announcer continues on the issue of abortion marshall coleman wants to take away your right to choose and give it to the politicians
