...controversial in San Francisco, where local police had already declined to shut down the club, that the indictment had to be obtained in nearby Alameda County. Events had already brought Doonesbury into the picture. For a week Zonker, the comic strip's aging soul-at-large, lamented the bust on Peron's club and went desperately in search of alternative sources for the patients it left stranded. Unfair, said Dan Lungren, California's politically ambitious attorney general, who was criticized by name in the strip for ordering the bust. He called on California newspapers to pull the offending strips. (None...

During the early primaries, when the race was not going well for Dole, the photographers on the campaign plane would play a little game, scrawling a silly message on an orange and rolling it up the aisle toward his seat.

And throughout the town, the P.U.K. flag had been ripped down, replaced by the bright yellow standard of the rival Kurdistan Democratic Party (K.D.P...
...criminal are natural enemies. Keats believes Moses put a bullet in his head; Moses thinks Keats betrayed him for the sake of a cheap bust. But as they drive around the desert, dodging machine-gun fire and stepping into plotholes of delirious implausibility, the two men get into tough-guy bonding at its wettest. Moses has no girlfriend, and Keats' has an ulterior agenda. After a while the standard gross-out talk of action movies--the gay-baiting gags and threats of fellatio--makes for an odd subtext. All these swaggering men who say they hate each other are really...
