...done can be surpassingly difficult, and never more so than in this case. After a week of gamesmanship, House-Senate conferees were still struggling late Saturday to shape a measure that the President might accept. To get even that far, the Senate earlier had struggled through its first all-night session since 1978; some lawmakers caught naps on cots placed in a nearby conference room. Reagan, for his part, had threatened to cast the first veto of his presidency. He said, with considerable hyperbole, that doing so would "literally . . . shut the Government off," and he frightened enough legislators into believing...
...film's first scene, young Jacqueline's rakehell father (Rod Taylor) roars home from an all-night frolic, and his haughty wife (Claudette Nevins) confronts him in full dominatrix regalia: breeches, riding crop and withering stare.

Each August the residents of the hamlet of Baan Nabua, 30 miles south of the Mekong River center of Nakhon Phanom, stop all work and open their stilted houses to visitors for a celebration. Government officials gather for a feast and an all-night spectacle that features classical Thai dancing and Kung Fu movies. The holiday is called the Stop the Gunfire Festival: it commemorates the government's success in quelling a Communist insurgency that once infested most of Thailand's 16 northeastern provinces. This year the eight-man band that played popular tunes at Baan Nabua...
