Rejecting the government's argument that it should be allowed to ship back to Haiti the refugees who have tried to reach Florida in sailboats in the past three months, U.S. District Judge C. Clyde Atkins extended his ban on forcible repatriation of the boat people.

Bonnie and Clyde and Easy Rider, Dirty Harry and Fatal Attraction -- all these movies began as attempts to vary and freshen traditional generic themes but ended up taking their creators, and their audiences, on trips much deeper, darker, more disturbing than anyone imagined they were going to make...
