...PRINCESS Bride is also plagued by an inept and poorly directed cast. Andre the Giant is endearing but inarticulate in his cameo role. Wallace Shawn, star of My Dinner With Andre, must have drunk too much in that flim, and after this role he should reconsider his career. And Wright, who makes her film debut in The Princess Bride should get out of acting before it is too late...

...establishing motives and motifs, Dante goes productively crazy. Is Tuck to be stuck in a rabbit? Then there will be hares everywhere: mechanical bunnies in Tuck's apartment; a project leader named Ozzie, for Oswald the Rabbit; a cameo turn by Chuck Jones, the cartoon auteur who developed Bugs Bunny. Is the plot conflict as pure as an archetypal Western shoot-out? Then one bad guy, the Cowboy (Robert Picardo), will twirl his hair dryer like a six-shooter while he sings I'm an Old Cowhand; and another, the thug-chauffeur Igoe (Vernon Wells), will shoot a man through...

Fortunately for Feinstein (sounds like Einstein), a lot of other people want to hear those old show tunes too. In the past year, since he opened at Manhattan's venerable Algonquin Hotel, he has become the brightest, newest star on the high-class cabaret circuit. He made a cameo appearance in February on NBC's The Two Mrs. Grenvilles -- as a nightclub singer of the '40s -- and he has performed at the White House; the current tenant is a fan. "Hey, Nancy," Ronald Reagan said when he first heard Feinstein at a Palm Springs party, "you've got to hear...

DOWNRIGHT SILLINESS also makes a cameo appearance in the book. Mandelbaum and Talbott portray the Administration's revocation of the Soviet ambassador's limousine privileges as a significant turning point in President Reagan's "counterrevolution" against detente. That's the only concrete example they give of the Administration's cool attitude toward the Soviets. Symbolism may be important, but surely the Administration has taken more significant actions than forcing the ambassador to enter the State Department by the main lobby...
