...something else attracted critics and the first knowing viewers to Blair Witch, and that is the film's bold sense of withholding. Horror, after all, is a genre that gravitates to the lurid edge. The jaded audience wants more--more teasing sex, more gross-out gore. So directors make their young minor characters play the sin-and-repent game: you have sex, then you die horribly. Makeup maestros like Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead) dream up (or nightmare up) grotesque faces and prostheses. Screeching violins italicize the killer's abrupt entrance as he raises his knife behind the fair...
Before he left the Senate in 1996, Bradley voted against the landmark welfare bill. Today Al Gore's lone challenger for the Democratic nomination is still speaking out against that reform. Welfare is "a disastrous system," Bradley recently told TIME, "but the way to deal with it is federal commitment and state experimentation, not the Federal Government washing its hands [of the problem]." Holding that view requires courage. In a survey commissioned by the G.O.P., 60% of those polled said they were less likely to vote for Bradley after hearing his position on welfare. If there's anyplace in America...
Think again. At a labor breakfast there attended by 800 Rainbow members, Bradley extolled his own commitment to racial and economic justice, then took aim at Clinton and Gore's. "After seven years of the first two-term Democrat since Franklin Roosevelt, the number of children in poverty in America barely blipped down," he said.

The line got a big hand. But later people were curiously unmoved; they...
...even appeared on the horizon, Beatty would command the press coverage to make the necessary splash, and the Hollywood connections -? galore! ?- to fill the war chest in a hurry. He?s done more womanizing than George W. Bush and at 62, still has a better head of hair than Gore?s, Bradley?s and McCain?s put together. Women love him, or at least they used to, and wife Annette Bening has already played in a couple of movies set in the White House "Mars Attacks!" "The American President"). Plus, Beatty is serious about politics and excited about an issue...
...about the dark-horse candidate? There's a perception in the Democratic cloakroom that anyone who publicly speaks well of him these days will pay a price. "It's been made clear to me that the things I say about Bradley that are nice are heard in Gore's office," says Delaware's Joe Biden, who may endorse Bradley. Biden isn't sweating, and the threats haven't kept Senators Paul Wellstone of Minnesota and Bob Kerrey of Nebraska from endorsing him, but other Senators feel the heat. "There is a clear message that there shouldn't be a primary...
