...gives each county its own option on whether to permit gambling, just as it does with alcohol. In fact, gaming has been readily available to Mississippians for years. Boats offering "dinner cruises" regularly leave Gulfport and Biloxi bound for international waters in the Gulf of Mexico. The slots and dice usually roll long before the boats reach the 12-mile limit...

Toughest Test for Civil Libertarians Comedian Andrew Dice Clay flaunted his street-punk misogyny so outrageously that his concert film was withdrawn by 20th Century Fox and his appearance as host of Saturday Night Live prompted two women performers to walk out. Meanwhile, liberals defended to the death his right to say things they wish he'd just shut up about...

...Burton's Beetlejuice and Pee-wee's Big Adventure. When the Avon lady brings him into her spectacularly bland neighborhood, she unawares sets his creativity on a collision course with her friends' anxious conformity.

For an emerging group of female laugh getters, grossing out audiences is left to the likes of Andrew Dice Clay and Sam Kinison. Coven-like hairstyles are passe; so are Elizabeth Taylor fat jokes, delivered Uzi-style a la Joan Rivers, and the kind of masochistic self-deprecation that kept Phyllis Diller in face-lifts for two decades. The freshest funnywomen have power smiles, well-toned bodies and social...
