Diane Keaton, herself an enormous talent, is Louise Bryant, Jack's wife and love. Theirs is a marriage of independence and respect. Throughout their life together love is as intense as any principle they so earnestly fought for. Nicholson Jack plays Eugene O'Neill, cynic and genius. ONeill is (for a brief time) a lover to Louise, but hes always a friend to Jack. Maureen Stapleton is Emma Goldand man, feminist, intellectual crusader for human rights. Gene Hack-ma- n stars as Peter Van Whcny, editor and admirer of Reed's work; and Edward Herrmann plays Max Eastman, an uneditor of The Masses, derground socialist magazine. Jack and most of his friends were socialists. However, as one witness back then the average recounted, American did not know what the word meant. Socialism was an ideal and a principle that an elite group of intellectuals believed in. Jack Reed was a spokesman for them and for the working class. He felt socialism was the panacea for the class plight. He asked Louise, also a journalist, to go to Petrograd with him to help stoke the fires of the Russian Revolution. Intense realities of the revolution began to snowball and when outbreaks of disease, random killings and pandemonium erupted, Reed replied, Its happening, not as we planned it, not as we wanted it, but its happening. More than anything else, Reds, is a love story. It deals with love between couples, love for comrades and love for principles. It shows that love is the driving force behind any valiant motive. This should be motive enough for you to experience it.

No area that's getting service now will be eliminated." Gifford said he feels the contract dispute will eventually be resolved, and the buses will roll again but perhaps not as often as before the dispute. The (UTA) Planning Department will analyse d all routes for leadership, and the runs will be cut, he explained. Clifford said that outlying areas (outside downtown Salt Lake City) would most likely be reduced first, although all routes currently in use would continue service at least during rush hour. less-use- After resolved, the contract disputes are analysing the routes, deciding on reductions and holding public hearing will take three months. And in November, perhaps a ballot. Eventually, it has to go to the people. And it's their decision.. .we have to have a funding increase or our service will be tnmmed to the point where it's no longer accessible to most of the public. The dialogue needs to begin right now," Clifford said. |
