With dogged zeal, Alderman William Singer, 34, has visited every public school and transit station and nearly every supermarket, bowling alley and bingo parlor in Chicago during his 16-month campaign to defeat five-term Mayor Richard Daley in next week's primary.

Implausibly, Dillon has enough energy left over from these various pursuits to carouse with his lumpish buddy Pov (John Beck) and play a fierce, albeit mediocre, game of hockey. As if to establish an affinity with his namesake, the town marshal of Dodge City, Dillon likes...
...current steady, Gardner Britt, 18, a freshman at University of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, had to catch a 6 a.m. plane, it was Susan who cooked his breakfast. Despite certain reservations, Susan and her friends find the White House a teen heaven. They bowl in the downstairs alley, dance in the top-floor solarium, enjoy movies (most recent: The Longest Yard, with Burt Reynolds) in the White House theater...
