Portugal's case study is of some interest to lawmakers in the U.S., confronted now with the violent overflow of escalating drug gang wars in Mexico. The U.S. has long championed a hard-line drug policy, supporting only international agreements that enforce drug prohibition and imposing on its citizens some of the world's harshest penalties for drug possession and sales. Yet America has the highest rates of cocaine and marijuana use in the world, and while most of the E.U. (including Holland) has more liberal drug laws than the U.S., it also has less drug...
...Henceforward (1985) Ayckbourn's futuristic blend of A Clockwork Orange and Amadeus: In a blighted future, with gang wars raging outside, a reclusive composer buys a female robot to keep him company, while he struggles to compose his masterpiece.

...Thurber’s lone and treacly nod to Pittsburgh’s industrial past.But it’s not all fun with Cleve and Jane. As an antidote to the plot’s syrupiness, Thurber plops in a very vinegary element: the mob. References to the Pittsburgh gang scene run throughout the movie, just detailed enough to flash “real life danger” on the screen. In fact, while Thurber keeps the mob at a considerable distance (we don’t know, for example, why Cleveland is involved), he relies on its existence...
