...film ends with the equivalent of a typical Hollywood everyone-lives-happily-ever-after scenario: a ten minute cinematic whirlwind through the next eight years of Gilliam's new life. He and Indigo get married, have a son, and eventually move into the same Brooklyn brownstone Gilliam grew up in. What Gilliam now does for a living is a complete mystery. Lee does not take the time to explain this. He seems concerned only with driving home the virtues of the family and having his film neatly end the same way it began. The film opens with the young Gilliam...
Getting people to fly Eastern became an even more daunting task last week when a federal grand jury in Brooklyn indicted the company and nine of its managers for a conspiracy that involved falsifying repair records and failing to maintain its aircraft. The 60 counts are the first criminal charges for poor maintenance ever leveled against an airline. They cover a period from 1985 to October 1989, six months before Shugrue took command from union-buster Frank Lorenzo, head of Eastern's parent, Continental Airlines Holdings. The indictment is a major blow to the trustee's struggle to revitalize...

As he spoke about the inadequacy of schools for blacks in South Africa, some of his listeners shouted back, "Same here!" When he went on to complain that in South Africa whites control the education of blacks, others in the crowd picked...
...Jomandi Productions in Atlanta, a nationally recognized theater company that is one of the few places in America where aspiring black playwrights can get their work performed, depends on its $60,000 NEA grant to pull in much of the rest of its $1 million budget. BAM, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, whose annual Next Wave festival has turned into an essential conduit between experimental and mainstream theater and dance, gets about 6% of its $10.3 million budget from the NEA; but that 6%, according to its director Harvey Lichtenstein, is crucial. Far from being opposites, private and public money...
