...guys...well, thank God for the good old FBI. The federal agents dispatched to handle the situation are portrayed as soulless automatons, and the local sheriff they corrupt into doing their nefarious bidding is almost as dim-witted as Baily (despite heroic efforts at subtlety by Silence of The Lambs's Ted Levine). Costa-Gavras insists that the FBI are simply caught up in the hubbub, trying to do their job as best they can; but when he depicts Bureau snipers blowing away a wax statue of a Native American in a botched attempt to nail Baily, one starts...
Although the American Medical Association might take a dim view of some of those alternatives--at least when they're prescribed for people--many veterinarians don't seem to think their clients are barking up the wrong tree. Some veterinary schools have started offering electives on alternative techniques. Last year no less mainstream an organization than the American Veterinary Medical Association opened its heart to holistic karma by publishing an official set of guidelines on what it likes to call complementary care...

...such concerns scarcely dim the newfound luster of MCI as America's most wanted company. MCI stock, which traded for less than $28 a share last month, closed at $37.75 last week. "They [MCI] are in a really enviable position," says Jeffrey Kagan of Kagan Telecom Associates in Atlanta. "They can pick and choose their future and the company that will get them there." And the battle for that future--as well as for the rest of the telecom industry--may just be starting...
