...slow motion, animation and pixillation on five kinds of film stock -- and, for two delirious hours, pushes them in your face like a Cagney grapefruit. The actors go hyper-hyper, the camera is ever on the bias, the garish colors converge and collide, and you're caught in this Excedrin vision of America in heat. The ride is fun too, daredevil fun of the sort that only Stone seems willing to provide in this timid film era. NBK is the most excessive, most exasperating, most ... let's just say it's the most movie in quite some time...

Five days later Susan Snow, another Auburn resident, died after swallowing an Extra- Strength Excedrin capsule that had been laced with cyanide. Nickell's widow Stella told authorities that her husband had taken Excedrin from the same product lot. They concluded that Nickell too was the victim of a cyanide-laced capsule.

...tainted Tylenol capsules killed a Peekskill, N.Y., woman. A month later traces of rat poison were found in Contac cold capsules and Teldrin allergy medication in Houston and Orlando. Two weeks ago, medical investigators discovered that two residents of Auburn, Wash., had died as a result of swallowing toxic Excedrin capsules. Bristol-Myers quickly pulled Excedrin capsules off the market nationwide, but last week Auburn's cyanide scare spread to yet another brand of pain-killer. During a random check of a pharmacy in the Seattle suburb, Food and Drug Administration officials found poisoned capsules of Anacin-3, made...
