...Lagerfeld was afflicted with the fuzzy-wuzzies, but he was hardly the only one: mohair will be hard to avoid this fall. In the U.S. several younger houses -- Vivienne Tam, Isaac Mizrahi, Ghost -- used it. Ralph Lauren, in a collection that relocated his country look to Sherwood Forest in the Middle Ages, featured it in rare long skirts. In his CK line, Calvin Klein had bunny minis in furry pastels...
Shining his flashlight around the dark corridors of a Chicago public-housing project, a police officer whose street name is Ghost (his real name is Enriquito Florez) illuminates some places where he has found hidden guns: behind broken exit signs, behind an electrical panel, atop a doorframe. On this night his light flashes on a hallway garbage drop that has been left open, with twine flapping loose; someone had apparently tied a gun inside but hastily wrenched it loose.

But Judge Andersen agreed with an American Civil Liberties Union complaint that warrantless searches of individual apartments violated the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, which forbids "unreasonable searches and seizures...

Later on, she turns up as a ghost. But she just sails gloriously through both incarnations, utterly untroubled by doubts in herself or August's enterprise. That's true of her co- stars too. When Irons ages, he adopts an oddly strangled tone that should make you want to laugh. But it doesn't -- at least while the movie's on. Glenn Close as his ferociously virginal sister...
...House of the spirits" leaves viewers unsatisfied. Although working with a treasure of Latin American literatures and an all-star cast, August somehow fails to produces a great work on film. Ultimately August's version of "The House of the Spirits" is only a ghost of Allende's full-bodied masterpieces...
