Sunday night is a school night, but it's worth staying up tonight to catch two classic Westerns on the TCM channel.At 8 p.m. it's my favorite John Ford movie, "The Searchers" (1956), a sprawling, vividly colored epic starring John Wayne as a man obsessed with finding his niece (Natalie Wood), who has been kidnapped by Indians. Whereas many of Ford's Westerns bore more than a whiff of racism, "The Searchers" - which you should really see on a big screen if possible - betokens a slightly more reflective attitude on the part of the director, who depicts BTC Wayne's character as more deranged than heroic.

We never needed an alarm clock in that old Guilford Avenue house in Charles Village. The hot-water heat pipes started clanging and banging about 6 in the morning, issuing a not-so-subtle wake-up call to the home's 12 inhabitants.As the 11th month of the year rolled around, the front grass would be coated with frost and the cellar's furnace would be making noises like the boilers on the Titanic.The furnace noises were actually something of a second warning. The day's first boom came before dawn.

NEW YORK - At Sarabeth's restaurant on Central Park South, two young old friends are catching up and comparing notes over breakfast. Anyone seated nearby quickly learns the story. They met in graduate school; both hold MBAs. Both recently have joined the swelling ranks of America's unemployed. Their shared tales, if once unthinkable, are becoming increasingly familiar. First, blue-collar jobs disappeared. Now white collars are fading. The young and briefly affluent, accustomed to earning more than $75,000, suddenly have time on their hands, the latest victims of the current economic crunch.
