...Summer films are for kids, winter films for adults. Not lately. This past winter played like the Nickelodeon Channel on the big screen. The four $100 million-plus movies were based on fairy tales (Beauty and the Beast, Hook) or kooky TV turns (The Addams Family, Wayne's World).

In Los Angeles, even to some usually moderate blacks, appeals from leaders to channel their anger into such constructive measures as voting in a June 2 referendum for an amendment to the city charter that would reform police administrative procedures sounded distressingly feeble. Mayor Tom Bradley, who is black, drew boos and cries of "Uncle Tom" as well as cheers from a crowd jamming the First African Methodist...
