...Middle East" is a wasteland. Since April, 75% of the national carnage has been in Beirut; at least 3,000 people have been killed, 6,000 wounded, in a city of 1,500,000. Those who managed to reach hospitals last week could rarely find an empty bed. They may have been better off on the floors, since continual sniper fire raked some wards. Water, food, medical supplies, gasoline and electricity were running low. Estimated property damage and revenue loss passed the $2 billion mark. Most international businesses and banks whose headquarters are in Beirut have now left to settle...
Healing Powers. Franco frequently became quite lucid, occasionally chatting with his family and even discussing with Premier Carlos Arias Navarro the lineup of military forces that might confront each other in the Spanish Sahara. At one point the Archbishop of Zaragoza, Pedro Cantero Cuadrado, spread across Franco's bed the gold-embroidered cloak that usually adorns the wooden statue of the Virgin Mary in Zaragoza's Basilica of Our Lady of Pilar.

("What did you say your name was?" That's speed speaking, and yes, he's in bed with a prostitute smoking cigarettes after the fact.) The script is cumbersome, the soundtrack amateurish, the crowd scenes lifeless, the final moral conflict dance like and played so badly that you actually oppose the hero's crowning heroics. Yet it is, particularly for director Hill's first effort, stunning to look...
...figured they were just excited about it. I mean I was getting faced and eating corn and stuff... Anyway I had a tough time thinking up a costume. I couldn't go as a seed packet so I was stuck. Then I glanced at my roommate's bed and got a great idea. So I cut these two holes in his sheet and went as a ghost. Pretty clever, huh? I thought so, but when I got to where the guys told me the party was supposed to be, I rushed in through the door yelling "Boo" and moaning...
