With 150 or so patrons, the Otherside Lounge was half full when the latest bomb went off, without warning, shortly after 10 p.m. "Everybody just froze," bartender Rhonda Armstrong told CNN. "It sounded like a cannon in a circus." A rescue worker reported treating a woman with a nail driven into her shoulder, leaving a wound "as big as a nickel." One victim underwent surgery at a nearby hospital and was said to be in stable condition...
Hoffmann's second failure at love is with the delicate, aria-singing, harpsichord-playing Antonia (Sarita Cannon), the damsel with a voice as clear and melodic as that of her dead mother, whose enormous portrait looms in the family's salon. The only problem is that Antonia's gift is killing her: if she continues to sing, the strain will destroy her.

Carolco says they were removed from the set without permission. Harlin's people say the props were given to the director because...
...took the oath of office. In his 25-minute speech, Clinton brushed over specifics, touching on inspirational themes. He called on Americans to transcend their differences and to open the doors of education and opportunity to all in what he called a new era and a new land. Cannon fire punctuated the applause that followed as some 250,000 people withstood near-freezing temperatures on the Mall to witness this celebration of American self-government. Though this Inauguration was a smaller, less lavish affair than Clinton's Hollywood-style blowout in 1993, the crowd seemed jubilant, buoyed by the gospel...
