...always plays on Jamie Lee Curtis' fine lips. So when, as rookie cop Megan Turner, she is asked why a pretty, peaceable woman would care to be a New York City police officer, Curtis smiles as she replies, "I wanted to shoot people." Since Blue Steel is a weave of police story and lady-in- distress melodrama, she will eventually get that opportunity. Her target will be Eugene Hunt (Ron Silver), a Wall Street commodities trader whose romantic intensity fascinates Megan at first, before she realizes he is a psychopath. He murders at random and for pleasure; after a kill...
...need for more police has never been greater, as one chilling statistic reveals: the ratio of police officers to reported felonies has reversed since the late 1940s. Then there were 3.3 cops for every violent crime reported in big cities. By 1988 there were about 3.2 reported serious crimes for each cop nationwide. In large cities the ratio is even worse -- so bad, in fact, that . many police departments lack the manpower to respond to all 911 calls. The Police Corps would put cops where they are most needed: on the street. Because rookies begin their careers on patrol...

...that respect, Sununu is a useful "bad cop" to Bush's "good cop." The President emphasized to TIME that he will renew his offer of cooperation with Congress this week in his first State of the Union address. But he warned half-jokingly, as he rolled his eyes in the direction of a smiling Sununu, "You've got some ((people)) sitting around here that aren't quite as kind and gentle." Never a patient sort, Sununu has grown exasperated with Congress's failure to act on the Administration's agenda and has persuaded Bush to depict the Democrats...
Dennis Peck (Richard Gere) has so many wives and children by his various marriages that he doesn't know what to do. Except steal to support them. And, for relaxation, lure other men's wives into extramarital affairs. He may be + the most thoroughly corrupt (and corrupting) cop in an overcrowded movie field. His response to a departmental investigation is to threaten to seduce the wife of head detective Raymond Avila (Andy Garcia) if Avila doesn't quash the case. No question about it, Internal Affairs is a nasty, sometimes brutal, piece of work. But Gere is hypnotic, writer Henry...
