That was the issue Mondale seized on. For weeks he has tried to depict Reagan as a dangerously detached leader who skates by the hard problems of governing. The debate provided more ammunition.

The set may depict a grungy, all-night coffee shop on Manhattan's Upper West Side, but it soon takes on the sulfurous glow of the lower depths: a rush-hour subway car, say, some time during World War III. Junkies, hookers, drag queens, derelicts, ganefs and hit men rub up against Joe (Danton Stone) and Darlene (Laurie Metcalf), a couple too amiable or dense to survive the Nighttown...
