Amanda's mood swings precariously from the incomprehension of the distraught mother to the glee of the spooning debutante and Ames swings with her. Frustration and her anger singe the air as she peels her gloves commando-like, strutting lost in her own home, crying "Deception" at her daughter Laura, who has dropped out of secretarial school without posting notice. And her shivering silence after a bitter fight with her dreamer son, Tom, is wonderfully moving...

Tom is a writer, not an actor, and the immense presence that Hanes gives his character is oddly wrong, too smug, too fulsomely gesturing, too much exterior acting. It is a terrific role, at once subtle and obvious, but the actor's energetic anger, bitterness and sense of adventure must come from deep within.

Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd, normally one of the mildest and most self-controlled of men, said he sympathized with...
Since March, between 30 and 40 dissidents have been arrested in a rather clumsy campaign by Chinese security officials to crack down on a small but vocal free speech movement that was encouraged inadvertently by Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping. A year ago, Deng declared: "If the masses feel some anger, we must let them express it." Since then, to the dismay of China's leadership, dissidents have pasted up posters on democracy wall bluntly attacking the authoritarianism of the regime. New underground magazines have sprung up; they contain detailed reports on the horrendous conditions in Chinese prisons as well...
