Lane (who now is a reporter for The Washington Post, and if he were sitting on my lap I wouldn't know who he was; it's a big place) had been promoted after the publisher, Martin Peretz, fired a more popular editor, the late Michael Kelly (Hank Azaria).

Charles Lane's new film, "Sidewalk Stories," is a silent movie shot in fl and white.

Lane is endlessly inventive in the ways he finds to create humorous situations and tell his story through images, and the soundtrack music, by Marc Marder, reinforces everything that happens.
