...housing market in parts of South Florida is melting faster than a snow cone on Miami Beach. Schiller's town house has languished on the market for 18 months. She has slashed the price by $75,000, to $565,000, offered a $2,500 bonus to the selling agent and at one point threw in a $2,500 store credit for home furnishings--all to no avail. "Buyers are extremely hesitant," says her broker, Rob Rose, adding that hundreds of similar properties are for sale, with similar gimmicks--from free Caribbean cruises to gym memberships (personal trainer included).

(Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush appear only in news clips.) Over six hours, we see the signals missed, the officials obsessed with protocol and covering their backsides and the best intentions stymied by bureaucracy, fate and the complexity...
...noir. It was a historical epic called The Black Book also known as The Reign of Terror, and it concerned the head-chopping horrors of the French Revolution, with Basehart as a rabid Robespierre and Robert Cummings as yet another Mann hero serving in the noble role of secret agent. (Instead of counterfeit plates, Cummings is looking for a Robespierre diary with an enemies list inside.)
