...gorgeous; they live in a fabulous loft. When they make love, to Bobby Hatfield's orgasmic rendition of Unchained Melody, the sex is so beautiful you could die from it. Too soon, Sam does die -- he is murdered -- in a plot twist that anyone can unravel in an eyewink. Now stranded between heaven and earth, he must use the gifts of a sassy psychic (Whoopi Goldberg) to alert Molly of threats to her life -- and, while he has her attention, to make mad pash one last time...

...jovial, blue-eyed gentleman who was a dirt farmer before he studied law at Georgetown, the Board took its secrets into a room high up in the Agriculture building, locked itself in until its tabulations were completed and its guesses made. Frosted glass windows prevented so much as an eyewink to the outside world. In the centre of another room six or eight newshawks stood in a chalked square, waiting. Finally Mr. Callander emerged, placed mimeographed copies of his mystical figures face downward on tables with telephones, and, full of excitement, cried, "Get ready?go!" The newshawks leaped...
