...terrible to contemplate: In the alternate universe where al-Qaeda terrorists hide bombs in Lite-Brite toys, these devices could have been lethal weapons of mass destruction. The evildoing entrepreneurs who hatched this plot, in wanting to force their way of life (or, at least, their product) upon all decent Bostonians, succeeded in making the city and its denizens look, well, stupid. Fiends! They must be smoked out. Luckily, the Boston Police Department (BPD) unclothed the cartoonish mask of these devices to reveal their true nature as a hoax of a hoax of a wide-scale deliberate terrorist attack...
...Uritskogo Street-one of the city's main shopping drags-add plenty of seasoning. An added bonus is Arbatskii Dvorik, the cozy restaurant located upstairs from the café, which is named after the Arbat, a famous street in Moscow. As well as English menus, you'll find some decent wines there-a big plus in a country where "wine" tends to mean a cloying beverage that's almost unbearably sweet.

Ford may not have been flashy or tested well with TV audiences, but he was a President with courage, wisdom, honesty, integrity and compassion - in other words, a leader in whom we could place our trust. What other person could have done the hard but necessary work of leading the country out of, as President Ford himself...
...with mounting horror as he realizes that they realize that he meant it all to be about them. Chunky Jason Alexander, with his spark-plug, salesman's personality, plays a characterization of Eugene's brother Stanley that has shifted radically since Brighton Beach. That Stanley was a sweet and decent nebbish, acutely aware of his limitations. For the new Stanley, Alexander's neurotic edge and propulsive energy are just right...
