These are obviously the kinds of roles actors can happily chomp on, and they are all enthusiastically, even gratefully, played. If Director Stephen Tobolowsky's muse sometimes seems too busily antic for the cramped confines of the Manhattan Theater Club stage, his choices nevertheless represent a legitimate response to Henley's writing. On the whole, it is more vividly and crazily charged than it was in her Pulitzer-prizewinning Crimes of the Heart. In fact, in its cut-loose characterizations and brazen theatricality, Miss Firecracker is infinitely preferable to that rather pallid comedy...
...told: inside Spielberg, the machine that built the machines, was little Steven and his suburban child's pulsing heart. Look into the mouth of Jaws, and you will find the infant fear of things that go chomp in the night. Search the skies for a Close Encounter, and you can chart a child's hope that whoever is out there will be just like him: small and smooth and smart and cuddly.

That's a lot of (chomp) bullshit...Reagan (chomp) can only cite the record (chomp). You talk about hostages (chomp), they're still hostages (chomp)..." The smile gets larger as the daughter of the waitress at the Czech grill downtown mechanically answers that mom will vote for Reagan. "Those...
Since she is now the country's leading gymnast, the Soviet press has naturally begun to refer to Nelli Kim as "Charming Nelli." When she pauses to chomp watermelon in the midst of an otherwise rigid training regimen, she fits that title, but Nelli and her coaches agree that she can often be much less than charming. The only thing that justifies her moods are the results. In Montreal four years ago, Kim not only won two individual gold medals but scored two all-but-unprecedented perfect tens -one in the floor exercise program and one in her specialty...
