...fact that Bush gets diminishing credit for the U.S. victory in the cold war during his watch is a larger sign of rot on the right. "There's an amazing disconnect," says one of Bush's top campaign advisers, "between the President and conservative leaders. They can't forget that he didn't come out of their movement the way Reagan did." Nor does Bush get much respect for his vigorous pandering to right-wing concerns...
...words are stupid--it's obvious they were written by people with only the slightest clue about English (example: "It was like shooting a sitting duck/a little talk and a smile and baby I was stuck"). But forget them-Bell does. The high point of the album comes on "Take A Chance on Me," where he leaves the lyrics behind and babbles a blissful "ba ba ba ba." And the concept is hilarious: Erasure is just a latter-day incarnation of ABBA, after all--they're both gooey, disco-ey, selfparodying pop groups. Thus this album is self-parody...
...half million people driven from their homes in an orgy of "ethnic cleansing." Detention camps, maybe even concentration camps. Surely these pictures and stories come from another time -- the Dark Ages, the Thirty Years' War, Hitler's heyday. Psychic defenses struggle to minimize, to deny, to forget. Not here; not now.

Fonda and Leigh, two gifted, diligent actresses, work hard to find subtleties in their characters: the sweet thing who must locate her angry strength and the sick thing who has been trying to duplicate herself in other women's images ever since her twin sister died. Director Barbet Schroeder (Reversal of Fortune) sweats too, swathing the mayhem in dusky tones, shifting moods easily from working-girl realism to nightmare melodrama. Yet the piece...
...been going through a little javelin catching . . . from the political opposition," Bush said Friday. "They've been dishing it out for 10 months. Let's see if they can take it." He also retaliated against at least one ungrateful Republican: word was sent to D'Amato that he could forget about any more help from the President...
