While never deviating from basic Bush policy in public, Quayle places himself a few degrees to the President's right, acting the conservative enforcer. It was Quayle who talked about the Soviets' "hatred of God." While in Central America, he inveighed against the "axis" of dictatorships in Panama, Nicaragua and Cuba, and posed with a grenade launcher that he said the Sandinistas had shipped to Marxist rebels in El Salvador...
...William Shatner directed from a script by David Loughery. That "final frontier" mentioned in its title is nothing more than your standard black hole, through which the starship Enterprise is commanded to navigate by a not very menacing religious fanatic named Sybok (Laurence Luckinbill).

The crimes and solutions nearly always center on the clash of cultures, indeed of metaphysics, in the sparsely populated badlands of the Southwest. But Hillerman's latest is something of a departure. Much of Talking God takes place in official Washington; its characters include a quirky contract killer seemingly borrowed from Elmore Leonard; and the underlying politics focuses as much on Pinochet's Chile as on the grievances of tribes whose ancestral graves are plundered for museum displays. But the deftly manipulated plot reunites Hillerman...
