Around Philadelphia, folks are pretty impressed with this intellectual dynamo. Zdrok was featured on the cover of the August issue of Philadelphia magazine, holding, in the words of writer Duane Swierczynski, "another hot young thing"--a baby lion cub. She appeared at a suburban Barnes and Noble to meet the masses and was almost mauled by a group of angry Bryn Mawr women. They were, by the end, suitably impressed by her wit and sharp mind, according to Nancy Zimbelli, director of promotions for the store. "She's a smart cookie," Zimbelli raved...
...been said that totalitarianism is dead when a shopkeeper hangs and ant-government sign in his storefront window without fear of repercussion. Although Cub has not yet reached that stage, it is rapidly approaching it. Indeed, open criticism of Fidel Castro has now spread beyond the radio stations and restaurants of Miami to the crowded streets of Havana...
Investigator Terry Grosz is screening a snuff film. The quality is poor, but the action is gruesomely clear: a group of hunters, accompanied by Doberman pinschers, is stalking a bear and her cub in the New Hampshire woods.

Suddenly the cub squeals; imbedded in its skull, as if in some ghastly Saturday-morning cartoon, is an arrow. The hunter takes his time reloading. Finally, with his second shot, the bear falls to the ground, where...

Under existing laws, manufacturers can be sued any time a plane breaks down or is involved in an accident -- even if the sturdy little flyer has flown reliably for a quarter-century. Piper Aircraft Corp. of Vero Beach, Florida, made the famous Cub -- the little yellow plane that thrilled county-fair audiences with rides and stunts like the Flying Farmer, a "runaway" plane with Grandma on board and cornstalks streaming from its landing gear. Now the company is in bankruptcy. The $25 million annual budget that Cessna used to spend to promote flying has been used...
...Screenwriters Charles Shyer (who also directed) and Nancy Meyers (who also produced) realize that adventure with a comic twist is the most suitable genre for an actress who is no great shakes in the emoting department but has brightness and vulnerability to burn. So they made her character a cub reporter who hasn't figured out how attractive, resourceful or brave she is -- a heroine in the process of becoming. It's a nicely contoured outfit for Roberts to wear to the Hitchcock ball. And Nick Nolte, displaying his dimpled machismo, is a knowing escort...
