...only the "enemy" were painted in half as much detail as the Black community. The policemen are unrelentingly brutal and mindless in their hatred. Hoover (Richard Dysart) and his aide (Beau Windham) are ridiculous in their suspicions of Communist influence behind the Panthers; the one black FBI agent is a robotic mouthpiece for integrationism. Like the Black people of Oakland, we can't fathom what fuels their intense hatred, and can only accept the police as an omnipresent menace. The film's interpretation depends on the individual viewer's ability to conceive of law enforcers as a malignant force...
...wonder the local Kublai Khans are planning more. Treasure Island's Steve Wynn, who also owns the tony Mirage, is ready to break more banks with his new Beau Rivage resort next year.

In raising the pitch, are producers deceiving guests to set them up for on-camera humiliation...
...Ghile Mear--Our Hero, a tribute to Bonnie Prince Charlie that makes the listener shiver, and sing along, with its manly melancholy. For three other star studs, Moloney provided tales of faithless women: the dirty dancer in Jones' giddily melodramatic version of Tennessee Waltz, the vixen who leads a beau to murder in Knopfler's The Lily of the West, the adulteress refusing to save her lover from the gallows in Jagger's sepulchral rendering of the title tune...
