...fears are justified. In Tucson last year, a drifter kidnaped an eight-year-old girl. She is still missing. After Manhattan's Grand Central Terminal was left open around the clock to accommodate the homeless on cold winter nights, commuters complained of being hassled and one man was found dead of head injuries. The terminal is now closed from 1:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. And in The Bronx three weeks ago, three men living at a shelter for the homeless were charged with kidnaping a doctor and torturing him for an hour before leaving him for dead along...

Caravaggio was a minute observer of body language: how people move, slump, sit up, point and shrug; how they writhe in pain; how the dead sprawl. Hence the vividness of Abraham's gesture in The Sacrifice of Isaac, holding his wailing son down on a rock like a man about to gut a fish, even though the landscape behind them is Venetian in its pastoral calm.

A riveting stump speaker who sprinkles his oratory with Cajun French, Edwards reputedly can film a 28-second campaign commercial in a single take without a script, a rehearsal or a stopwatch. He has run 15 times for public office, including four terms in Congress, and has never...
When he returns, he finds George dead from a drug overdose. Slowly, he retraces the steps of his brother's life only to discover that while posing as a physician, George was in fact a pusher. Gerald soon finds himself embroiled in the drug underworld that killed his brother and spells the same fate for him in the end, Gerald "saw that George had been right. They only had one life, and it meant one thing--the same life, the same death." Unfortunately, the story depends on a surprise ending which fails to produce the desired effect...
