...dealt with the report of a commission headed by Israel's former Supreme Court President, Yitzhak Kahan. The massacre of the Palestinians, which began two days after the assassination of Lebanese President-elect Bashir Gemayel, was carried out by Christian Phalangist militiamen. In finding that Sharon had "disregarded the danger of acts of vengeance" when he ordered the militiamen into the camps, the Kahan commission concluded that he bore "indirect responsibility" for what had happened. "It is impossible to justify the Minister of Defense's disregard of the danger of a massacre," the commission stated...
David Byrne is a riveting physical and emotional presence--a cult movie star who radiates otherworldly danger. Occupying the center of this glossy rock- concert film as leader of the avant-punk band Talking Heads, Byrne comes across as both stage-frightened and spellbinding. The dramatic contours of his gaunt face seek the shadows, where his most pounding, powerful songs (Psycho Killer, Burning Down the House) take form. The other band members, who appear to have been born on this planet, are along to provide white noise for the Showman from Outer Space as he surfaces in a big white...
...lasting effects, though many continue to harbor the bacteria and can infect their sexual partners. In women, the bacteria may travel through the uterus into the fallopian tubes, which become inflamed and eventually scarred.

Aspin, a supporter of the MX last year, has hinted that he will switch his vote. Goldwater has already stated that the controversial missile, which would cost $20 billion to $30 billion, is dead. The bill for Star Wars, now in the earliest stages of research, will not come due for many years, but some Congressmen are threatening to strangle this Reagan-policy brainchild in the crib...
...nuclear power. "O.K.," he barks when they cross him, "from now on I do my business with the Chinese!" Sporting a cad's mustache and Walter Denton's whiny voice, Penn is a funny, harrowing wonder of energy. No other young actor so cunningly combines the mannerist danger of the Brando-De Niro school with the articulate assurance of a stand-up comic. Hutton is just as fine in a role that demands--and gets --caged heat, the taste of a soul gone sour, sanctity imploding into rage. He and Penn are the only compelling reasons to see a film...
