...peripatetic candidate sat in an airliner headed for Baton Rouge, La. He wore a red-striped shirt with white collar, and kept popping tiny Tootsie Rolls into his mouth. Jackson was due to deliver a Sunday sermon at the local Mount Zion First Baptist Church. In 20 years, he recalled proudly, he had not once failed to fill a church to overflowing. Jackson believes his 1984 campaign lifted blacks and other minorities toward more power. "There are more blacks trying for office today, sheriffs, legislators, tax assessors," he pointed...
...Nordhaus is in any position to comment on PBH. He obviously knows little of PBH's legal status or activities, and his comments on the Keylatch accident show how little he knows about summer day camps. The most serious injury suffered in the Keylatch van accident was a fractured collar bone, a common sports injury, not [as serious] an injury as Mr. Nordhaus might have you believe.

One exec (Ronny Cox) has devised a robot, ED 209, to patrol the streets, but ED is too slow in the brain and too fatally quick on the draw. So another schemer (Miguel Ferrer) assembles the spare parts of a mangled policeman (Peter Weller), fuses them with some state-of-the-art plumbing and creates a bionic bobby...
...fluorescent light for two weeks is almost equivalent to being under 105 degrees sun in the Philippines." Stone is not the only Platoon veteran who thinks so. Charlie Sheen traded his M-16 for an M.B.A. to play an overeager stockbroker named Bud Fox. The actor found the white-collar trenches of Gotham "much worse. When you get this overloaded mentality, it's tough to find ways to relax yourself. It's tougher than being a grunt...
