Bedinger's change of heart seemed indicative of a tectonic shift in the Democratic electorate, a phenomenon deeper than the sudden waning of Dean's poll numbers--a movement toward sobriety and away from bombast, a search for a candidate with ballast. The easiest way for a politician to flaunt his gravitas is to show some interest in foreign policy, but this is risky for Democrats, who tend to believe that their core supporters care only about domestic issues. It is true that most of the questions I've heard at candidate meetings over the past few weeks have been...
...cancer,' the music shows what the character is feeling: 'I'm lonely, please don't leave.'" At a final rehearsal, Lee tensely kicks his shoes off and watches as music director Martin Koch anxiously conducts with a pencil. The music switches fluidly from baroque and Wagneresque bombast to blues, soul and, of course, modern opera. Characters trade obscenities. Michael Brandon's unerringly realistic Springer paces, arms folded, awaiting his cues. He speaks, they sing. It could all easily descend into chaos, but it works.

If this is eye candy, dish out more...
...with a soup?on of sexual decadence. Director Herschell Gordon Lewis and producer David F. Friedman had reaped a bonanza with the ghouly-gory-nudie-roughie "Blood Feast." (Friedman, who oddly gets no mention in "A clean BREAST!", was a mirror Meyer: an inspired huckster with a gift for literary bombast. His memoir "A Youth in Babylon: Confessions of a Trash-Film King" is a marvel of evocative high-comic writing. And stay tuned for the sequel!) So Meyer, deciding it was "time to bust out of the industrial film format," concocted a black-and-white Bible-bustin' tract called "Lorna...
