Mayors who presided over less fortunate cities had even less to offer their poor constituents, and have suffered accordingly. In 1986, Gary's Hatcher and Newark's Ken Gibson became the first black mayors to fall to challenges from a new generation of black aspirants less interested in national podiums than in the unglamorous day-to-day management of their cities. Many of the new generation of urban leaders, such as Baltimore's Kurt Schmoke, a former prosecutor, have backgrounds in business or the professions.

Both men are rogue avengers, out for bloody justice against cartels that have killed or threatened their partners and spouses. Both pictures, with their suavely depraved drug lords and curt disregard for constitutional safeguards, play like extended episodes of Miami Vice. Both scenarios choose their villains from the current list of least favored nations: South Africa in LW2, a thinly disguised Panama...
...stunts, and they do them without Annette." On monitors, TV's Huxtable clan explains how a sitcom is shot, while patriarch Cosby dresses up in various sports uniforms and shouts, "I'm goin' to Disney World!" Beatty explains set design, Lucas and two mechanical friends discuss post-production, Gibson and Herman demonstrate sound editing, Midler stars in a short comedy with lots of sets and stunts. At the end, Eisner and Mickey Mouse invite the audience to watch previews of Disney summer films. Eisner wears a Mickey Mouse watch. Mickey wears a Michael Eisner watch. Everything moves like clockwork...
