...Julian Bond and John Lewis were allies in the civil rights battles of the '60s, but they are now blustering rivals. Although each had hoped to emerge victorious from the seven-way primary held last week for the Democratic nomination in Georgia's Fifth District, neither cornered a majority of the votes. The two men will now meet head on in a three-week campaign that promises to be rougher than the first round...
...local financial and capital markets. Formally, Big Bang refers to the deregulation of Britain's domestic securities markets, when the 218-member London Stock Exchange will abandon a system of fixed commissions for brokers. The Exchange will also drop a traditional separation between the brokers, who execute stock and bond trades for their clients, and the so-called jobbers, who handle the brokers' orders as well as manage their own hefty accounts.

For Bond's next appearance, in The Living Daylights, which begins filming in London next month, Producer Albert Broccoli had selected the debonair, Irish-born Pierce Brosnan, star of TV's Remington Steele, after the NBC series was canceled. When Steele was renewed two months later, however, Brosnan had to bow out. So Welshman Timothy Dalton...
Like My Beautiful Laundrette minus the homosexuality, the bond between the two boys is the bond that holds the viewer to the screen. Their interaction, the fun and the sadness they have together makes you happy as you watch the movie. Tea in the Harem manages to convey a lot of things, from poverty to alienation, by seeing them reflected through the boys' relationship instead of confronting them directly...
