...Their anger has combined with an epidemic of drug use to turn Liberty City and Overtown, where many buildings are painted gaudy shades of yellow, orange and green, into brightly colored tinderboxes. The rage is compounded by deep- seated animosity toward the police, 43% of whom are Hispanic. Like last week's violence, all of Miami's previous riots ignited after white or Hispanic officers shot black suspects. Twice last year, Miami police on drug raids burst into the homes of innocent black people. Black citizens accuse Hispanic officers of waging a vendetta against black youths...

Fassbinder. But Almodovar also looks back in glamour to '50s Hollywood, when Rock Hudson could comfort a dying Jane Wyman in one film, then woo perky Doris Day in another.

The reason: they fear that the high court, with its newly conservative majority, may tamper with the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling, which legalized abortion nationwide in 1973. Last week the court seemed to take a tentative step in that direction by announcing that it will hear Webster v. Reproductive Health Services. The case involves a 1986 Missouri abortion law that would have put a number of obstacles in the way of a woman seeking abortion...
