- A Tale of Two Irelands" offers no solutions, noting that the "land has a history and its people a capacity for vengeance and violence that outsiders cannot comprehend." It does, however, provide intelligent insight. And it does get far beyond superficiality. Beyond that the Irish story is incredibly complex, creating circles of explanations within circles of totally contradictory explanations, many of them rooted in halftruths. Most Irish spokesmen complain that the coverage in this country is generally superficial. And that is true.

- The suggestion that a dog leads a dull life does not apply to that of Rin-Tin-Tin in the screen melodrama, "Below the Line," which is on view this week at Warner's. Rin-Tin-Tin has an eventful career from the time he was owned by the villain to the days when young Donald Cass befriended the animal. Actually Rin-Tin-Tin is the energetic hero of this story, being always busily engaged in either saving himself from a dangerous predicament or rescuing his young master and the heroine. In one of the early scenes Rin-Tin-Tin, now well-known to motion picture enthusiasts, is seen in a crate in the baggage car of a train. He does not take the actions of the baggagemaster in a kindly fashion, so that brute causes the dog to be tumbled out of the car, down an incline to a river. The animal is rescued from this dilemma, and from being a snarling animal he changes to a loyal, affectionate creature. As the story goes on a woman is murdered by Jamber Niles and the Sheriff endeavors to find the criminal through a piece of cloth and a button found in the dead girl's hand. Subsequently we have Donald being attacked by the bloodhounds and Rin-Tin-Tin at first holding them at bay and finally chasing them all away with their tails between their legs. Rin-Tin-Tin does nothing by halves, for he tracks the murderer himself and kills him. There are several good scenes in this picture, but it is on the whole an overdose of melodrama. There is the ceaseless deluge of rain, the poor heroine and the trouble-encumbered hero plunging through the woods, and titles that make one turn one's head away from the screen. One of the praiseworthy portions of this subject is where Rin-Tin-Tin climbs a tree, which is bent and old. He makes two or three attempts and finally pulls himself up to the straggling branches. Dog or no dog, this picture is one of those which to see once, is enough-aye, too much. Aside from Rin-Tin-Tin's performance there is nothing noteworthy about the acting of the principals.

But as a pediatric palliative care physician, she works to ensure that terminally ill children receive quality end-of-life care.

In the process she asks a critical question: When a child is terminally ill, how can we make the end of life a better one?

- A behind the scene about Greta Garbo and her secret love affair with Mercedes de Acosta. The two met for the first time in 1931 at the screenwriter Salka Viertel's house in Hollywood. When Garbo admired Acosta's bracelet, Acosta gave it to her. She and Garbo met again and this time Garbo gave her a flower. For close to 40 years film scholars and biographers of Greta Garbo have waited for the day when 55 letters and 32 cards and telegrams that the actress wrote to Mercedes de Acosta, a playwright, screen writer and poet, would be unsealed at Philadelphia's Rosenbach Museum and Library.

- In his review for The New York Times, Frank Rich wrote that " ...the new musical revue at the Lunt-Fontanne, is an [Duke] Ellington celebration that just won't quit until it has won over the audience with dynamic showmanship. ...it rides so high on affection, skill and, of course, stunning music that the lapses don't begin to spoil the fun. What's more, this is the only Broadway revue of recent vintage that operates on a truly grand scale."
- About three black townships and, imaginatively, a white Afrikaner family in an upper-middle-class rural environment. What's imaginative here is that Charlayne Hunter-Gault, the program's able correspondent, says that many people in South Africa now talk about ''post apartheid.'' One of them, the father in the Afrikaner family, says of apartheid: ''We are dismantling it. It is dead.'' But clearly it is not stone-cold dead, and this is what the first three reports are about. In the first, we see Sister Agatha, a black Dominican nun, in Kwathema, a black township of some 100,000 people, 25 miles from Johannesburg. Why are there riots in Kwathema? ''Some people are pushed into it,'' Sister Agatha says indignantly. We see pictures of black children, beaten when the police invaded classrooms.

A thoroughly reported piece on women's unique needs during incarceration is presented in a multimedia page experience that includes a three-part mini documentary, audio interviews, custom animated illustrations, infographics and more.
