...High, is nearly as lame. The problems start with the casting. As Spicoli, the spaced-out surfer played hilariously in the film by Sean Penn, Dean Cameron projects nothing more than a 5-o'clock shadow; a baby-faced Sean Penn lookalike, Patrick Dempsey, plays Damone, the school's cool con artist.

...Waldheim was a member of two Nazi organizations and served in a German army command responsible for the deportation of Greek Jews to death camps. Waldheim, 67, compounded his dilemma with a vague and unconvincing rebuttal.

Afterward, Habib had no comment, but Marcos said the veteran troubleshooter had assured him that the U.S. "was not in any way telling us how to run our affairs." Habib was similarly silent after a 55-minute visit with Aquino. The meeting was apparently cordial but ended on a somber note as Aquino reiterated her position that a truce with Marcos was impossible. Said...
