...spokesman for the film makers' corporation, Luke Spielberger Ltd., said that the attractions will include a Poltergeist funhouse, a scuba dive through shark-infested waters, an American Graffiti drag strip, a Millennium Falcon journey through the Twilight Zone, an E. T. flying-bike ride and an Indiana Jones snake pit. The restaurants, or cantinas, will feature gremlins serving popcorn and candy bars. Each afternoon the Ewoks Marching Band will parade through the park playing the works of John Williams...
Many lawmakers have long been afraid that the CIA backing of the contras would drag the U.S. into a war against Nicaragua, and Casey's briefings did not always reassure them. One Senator told TIME last week that the CIA director once went so far as to present a plan for a possible eventual partition of Nicaragua be tween a Sandinista regime in the west and a contra-ruled state in the east.

A dyed gray beaver jacket, with collar, pockets and cuffs furrowed like a plowed field, is "ideal for Mrs. Bowing." (All names have been changed to protect the unsuspecting.) "She sure...
Compelling facts do not always cohere into riveting drama. But Mann, author of the social documentary play Still Life, has shaped the trial transcript and other relevant comments into antiphonal form: the lament of a hard-nosed cop will be answered by a raucous drag queen; the surreal anguish of Dan White (incarnated with creepy brilliance by John Spencer) will be followed by some wildly comic testimony that might have come from Carol Burnett's blooper barrel. Execution of Justice, directed by Oskar Eustis and Anthony Taccone, is a major work that seems to stand outside the perimeters...
