Dragging storyline overcome by superb acting in 6 Enemies’ ByTODD STONE Of The Battalion Staff “Enemies, A Love Story” relies on superb acting to elevate itself to above-average status. Although critically acclaimed, “E- nemies’ ” storyline drags more than it runs, which rhakes its two-hours- plus length difficult to sit through. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth enduring the ho-hums of this film. Ron Silver stars as a Holocaust survivor, Herman, who lives in New York in 1949. He is a ghost writer for a rabbi, played by Alan King, and he seems to need the anonymity the job gives hirh. Herman felt obligated to marry the sweet Polish girl who saved him from German death squads, and now he is stuck in a passionless mar riage. Still, Herman finds passion with his mistress, Masha, played by Lena Olin. At first, it seems their relationship is based on strong phys ical attraction, but we discover that Masha’s intensity is absorbing. She keeps Herman’s blood pumping. After a series of events I won’t re veal, Herman ends up with three wives. Although illegal polygamists might be viewed as insensitive scum sucking sexist swine, Herman is ac tually a nice guy who is stuck in cir cumstances which demand he give up parts of the life he is trying to put back together. The three wives plot device seems more suited for an all-out comedy farce, but the film emphasizes trage dies and hardships instead of hu mor. A few well-crafted amusing mo ments occur, which left me craving more tension-breaking comedy. But you can’t blame director and co screenwriter Paul Mazursky (“Down and Out in Beverly Hills”) for em phasizing the drama. His principal stars, Ron Silver, Lena Olin and Angelica Huston, are superb. Olin and Huston’s perfor mances rightfully were nominated for Oscars for Best Supporting Ac tress. Silver, who carries the film, could have had a little more help from the screenplay to add depth to his char- ENEMIES, A LOVE 5 Starring Ron Silver, Lena and Angelica Huston Directed by Paul Mazursky Rated R iT 1 Local businesses facilitate recycling By CHIP SOWDEN Of The Battalion Staff You’re not going to get rich recycling aluminum cans at about 30 cents per pound. But recycling conserves resources and helps the economy and the environment. Bryan-College Station has facilities to recycle almost anything. Among the conserved by recycling is the last virgin old-growth forest in the country, said Charles Albert, recycling officer for the Texas Environmental Action Coalition.

And recycling could be part of the solution to loci trash troubles. With the closing of the Bryan lanU three to four months, Bryan and College Stationgoj ernments have collaborated to plan ahead, .
