...Tuck's apartment; a project leader named Ozzie, for Oswald the Rabbit; a cameo turn by Chuck Jones, the cartoon auteur who developed Bugs Bunny. Is the plot conflict as pure as an archetypal Western shoot-out? Then one bad guy, the Cowboy (Robert Picardo), will twirl his hair dryer like a six-shooter while he sings I'm an Old Cowhand; and another, the thug-chauffeur Igoe (Vernon Wells), will shoot a man through the gloved finger of his steel hand and then, to impress a gawking boy, blow smoke from the glove's ruptured finger.

The long, defiant hair of the late 1960s falls to the floor; the young men look sullen or stern. Do they know that this is a pre-op for a lobotomy? Double time, in their eight weeks at Parris Island, S.C., they will be stripped of their freedom, their pride, their names. The recruit who dares to hang some John Wayne sarcasm on the drill instructor will be called Joker (Matthew Modine). The guy from Texas will be dubbed Cowboy (Arliss Howard). Gomer Pyle...
Again the next night a thick cordon of police prevented youths from approaching the Wall. Security forces clubbed them to the ground and pulled them by their hair into nearby vans. Onstage in West Berlin, Genesis Singer Phil Collins sent his greetings to "all Berliners, East and West." Pointing to the Wall, Collins said, "When something happens to the people over there, ) it is that thing's fault. That ((Wall)) is to blame...
