...Culver and Bayh as "men who apparently think it's perfectly okay to slaughter unborn infants." In fact, Church favors a constitutional amendment that would outlaw abortion in most circumstances.

Says its chairman, Alan Gottlieb: "There's no question that Steve Symms would be a better Senator on our issue. Church votes the way he does because he'd be tarred and feathered...

But Soviet patience was, largely by Western journalists complaining about stalled visas, confusing event schedules and scoreboards that used the Cyrillic alphabet. Fed up, a Soviet official denied that Spartakiad was a "dress rehearsal" for the Olympics, just...
...dimensions of cardboard. The most effective scene in the production--even though it was completely inconsistent with the tone of a 30's movie--was an erotic, sado-masochistic seduction of the ingenue by Count Dracula. The production had one indisputable asset: Frank Langella, the most endearing, cuddlesome teddy-bear Dracula ever to pierce a jugular...
