...ventured to do. Democratic Congressman Charles Rangel, who represents a drug-riddled district in New York City's Harlem, poses a long string of questions for those who would legalize drugs. Among them: Which drugs should be permitted, just marijuana or the more damaging heroin, cocaine and angel dust? How would they be sold, by prescription through hospitals and clinics or in "drugstores," tobacco shops, even supermarkets? Would there be an age limit, and how would it be enforced? Would users be permitted to buy as much as they wanted, even if their demands became insatiable as their addictions deepened...
...taxed and heavily regulated; for example, they would be forbidden to sell to anyone under 21 years old. But there are many variations. Some supporters would permit the legal sale of marijuana only; Washington Mayor Marion Barry might add cocaine but is dead set against legalizing PCP (angel dust). Economist Friedman would permit the sale of every imaginable brand of upper and downer at the local drugstore.

The excited yelps of dancers wafted off into the desert toward arid mountain ranges swathed in the pale light of a distant moon, keeping silent watch over the U.S.-Mexican border...
...good stuff. Nicolas Roeg casts his wife, the exemplary Theresa Russell, as King Zog of Albania foiling a terrorist plot to the strains of Un Ballo in Maschera. Jean-Luc Godard sets Lully's Armide in a Paris gym. Body builders pump iron; two gorgeous sorceresses dust them off. Murder is in the air, and the kinetic poetry Godard can create from the way a woman's hair falls across her face. Julien Temple's witty episode -- quick gags and endless tracking shots -- plops Rigoletto into California's baroque Madonna Inn. A movie producer philanders in a room decorated...
