Smith found that the Davidians themselves set the fire that killed nearly 80 men, women and children. Monday’s appeal arguments are being made on behalf of the estates of 14 children who died in the fire, a 15-year-old girl who was badly burned and three parents whose children died in the blaze. The Davidians, whose beliefs encompass fierce hostility against the government, say Sm ith’s rulings in related cases, and comments on and off the bench, betray “deep- seated antagonism” and “pre­ conceptions” against them. They say he expressed “nega­ tive characterizations” of them, including calling one Branch Davidian follower “crazy” and a murderer. Government lawyers dismiss the bias claims. “To the contrary, Judge Smith displayed patience and diligence wading through enor­ mously complicated legal and factual claims and gradually winnowing down the issues for trial,” they say in their brief. A lawyer for the Davidians, James Juranek, acknowledged that the odds are against him in court. Appeals such as his are “granted less often than they are denied,” he said. On Feb. 28, 1993, federal agents stormed the Branch Davidian compound looking for stockpiled automatic weapons and hand grenades. Four fed­ eral agents and three Davidians were killed in the clash. For 51 days, the government attempted to get the cult fol­ lowers to come out. On April 19, agents fired tear-gas rounds into the compound and fire consumed it.

Allen’s films tend to garner a mixed reaction from critics. Some feel that he’s a bit formulaic in his writing; often casting himself as the angst-ridden schmuck they presume he really is against a hot-to-trot ingenue. It has been said that Allen’s recent career appears to be a fall from grace from the innovative and edgy comedy of “Annie Hall” and “Hannah and Her Sisters.” But Woody is far from being washed up. His recent films, though not block- buster-style successes like “Spiderman” and “Titanic” have enjoyed a positive reviews from audiences and critics alike. After all, Allen is one of the hard­ est working people in show business — producing at least a film a year for the past’35 years. Movies haven't been Allen’s only Claim to fame. Woody began playing the clarinet at age 12 and has had a deep love for jazz music ever since. Allen almost always uses jazz in the sound­ tracks to his movies. Often, he sets his films in periods in which jazz was popu­ lar, such as his 2001 caper comedy “The Curse of the Jade Scorpion,” which was set in 1940’s New York big band jazz era. In fact, Allen has his own jazz band (and a decent one according to a num­ ber of major reviewers in the scene). Allen headlined at Michael’s Pub in New York for over 25 years before the jazz AFI Photo hotspot closed its doors in 1997. Now With 65 years of life and 35 years In film behind him, Woody Allen continues to be a success at the box office. 2001s Woody plays with Eddie Davis & his “The Curse of the Jade Scorpion” continued Allen’s tradition of casting himself opposite the best and brightest stars like New Orleans Jazz Band at the Carlyle Helen Hunt and Dan Akroyd as well as the hottest like Charlize Theron. page 14 The Observer ♦ SPORTS Monday, February 10, 2003
