...that some Mao quotations were painted over and replaced with road safety signs and exhortations to strive for modernization. Peking's 7.5 million population salvaged some holiday spirit from the capital's markets, which were specially stockpiled with 1 million chickens and 300,000 ducks, geese, grouse, hare and fish.

...less smoothly without Meyer's capable cast. David Warner creates a fine Stevenson: tightly disciplined, revealing his menace only through eyes that constantly shift and smiles that fade too quickly.

Officer Dan MacGilvray sat in his cruiser on the corner of DeWolf and Mem Drive on a cold March morning. An hysterical motorist jumped out of his Pontiac screaming that a car had just veered off Mem Drive into the Charles River. Within minutes, Sgt. Peter A. O'Hare and Officer Thomas Simas were groping about the turbid ice water for the submerged car door. They dragged one of the two women from the river and collapsed from overexposure. A month later they were to be commended for saving one woman's life. Not every day in the life...
