...movie begins under false, bright colors at a beach colony where Zorg is the caretaker, and glad enough to have an attractive girl come into his life. The sex here is very naked and bluntly erotic -- a few minutes of careless sex unmediated by commitment or guilt. For a while the movie seems like another study of love along what is left of the hippie margin. But no, it moves toward ever darker, more claustrophobic interiors as Betty realizes that the lackadaisical Zorg cannot absorb all of her energies. She discovers that he once wrote, and abandoned, a novel...
...freshman year in office -- at least the way his critics saw it -- Secretary of Education William Bennett misbehaved like a classroom bully. He brashly backhanded many university students as beach bums who loafed on Government loans, blasted what he called the "failed path" of bilingual education, charged that rising college tuitions and cafeteria-style curriculums were a rip-off and assailed fat in congressional education budgets.

Programming is so important that a New Age breed of crystal therapists has sprung up to teach the uninitiated how to harness their rock power.

Allan Hendrickse, one of Botha's two nonwhite Cabinet ministers, led a group of 30 | protesters to whites-only King's Beach for a chilly ten-minute "splashabout" in defiance of the law. Proclaimed Hendrickse: "This is God's beach!" In the Transvaal, Ster-Kinekor, South Africa's main distributor of foreign films, said it would stop supplying U.S. productions from Warner Bros. and Columbia Pictures unless whites-only admissions policies were dropped. Ster-Kinekor said...
...APPROACH the second national commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Gr. 's birthday, it is imperative to understand that we pay homage to him not solely because he was assassinated, as so many Americans wrongly assume. In times scarred by the senseless bigotry of the Howard Beach incident, by a President eager to orchestrate the deracination of the legislative gains of the 1960s, and by self-serving Black conservative academicians who plead for cessation of all civil rights activity, our nation must look back in time to King's accomplishments and his vision...
