...dynamic between Salie and Lucano works wonderfully. Audrey and Victor flirt and argue wildly back and forth. Audrey is a demanding character: a pouty, overly cute teenager who in fact is a talented artist with real substance. We rarely find this risky combination of adolescent coquetry and artistic depth, but Salie succeeds in merging the two. Victor is sweet, but has a quick tongue; Lucano plays the role of the older man with charm, not smarm...
...snuffed the Braves' dream, Avery gelded Pittsburgh on three singles and never allowed an opponent to reach second base. In the ninth inning Atlanta finally scored and the lad spent the game's last few, beautifully tense minutes in the dugout.

For WMCs in such contests, references to black marks on their opponents' records are clearly out of bounds, as are allusions to crime and welfare dependency, which might have racist overtones. Blacks are freer to flirt with racial rhetoric. In the primary battle between black former Federal Judge Alcee Hastings and ex-Ku Klux Klan leader John Paul Rogers to be Florida's secretary of state, Hastings got a laugh last month by quipping, "If ((Rogers)) doesn't burn crosses in my neighborhood...
