...reigning technobandits, none was more brazen or accomplished than McVey, who had been shipping technology to the Soviet Union and arranging computer-training classes for Soviet engineers since the early 1970s. The equipment transferred reportedly included high-capacity computer disk drives, as well as imaging systems that could be used in the study of satellite photographs. McVey had obtained the products through four companies he controlled in California's Orange County...
...rating, Toback comes up with the Judy Blume version. Robert Downey (desperately charming) is a young man on the perpetual make; Ringwald (way too pouty) is his mysterious prey, willing to bet her future on a single game of blackjack.

This new version offers alternate takes and outtakes, including an unlikely version of Harbor Lights, and makes a fascinating history of one scuffling producer (Sun Founder and Rock Pioneer Sam Phillips) and three good ole boys (Elvis, Lead Guitarist Scotty Moore, Bass Player Bill Black) groping toward...
Bryant Park, behind the New York City Public Library, is meant to be an oasis in a concrete desert, but it often seems more like a drug bazaar. Four Soviet health officials, in the U.S. to study treatment of alcoholism and drug addiction, discovered just how brazen the local merchants could be when their American guide took them to visit the park...
