Senator Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, is recruiting millionaires who can self-finance their runs for the Senate. This has stirred controversy in North Carolina, where Republican war horse Jesse Helms looks vulnerable and Helms' 1990 foe, Harvey Gantt, wants to make another run at him. Gantt has edged ahead of Helms in recent polls, yet Kerrey has encouraged Charlie Sanders, a former Glaxo chief executive, to run. Insiders say Kerrey touted Sanders to big Democratic contributors at a recent retreat in Aspen, Colorado. Officially, a Kerrey spokesman says both Gantt and Sanders...

Accordingly, the sight of a thirteen-year-old prostitute (Jodie Foster) fascinates him, epitomizing the destructive influence of the "scum of the streets."

Harvey Keitel is the epitome of the slimy pimp--he claimed to have rehearsed with actual specimens. His wimpish bravado and bared arms give him the appearance of an evil ape. With their mindless office banter, Cybill Shepherd and Albert Brooks (playing Betsy's friend in the office) ably demonstrates the fatiguing triviality...

It adroitly interlaces old film clips, like a peignoired Cary Grant, declaring, in Bringing Up Baby, 'I just went gay all of a sudden!', with cogent comments by Gore Vidal, Harvey Fierstein, Quentin Crisp and others. But the final irony of the film may be that Hollywood, with its dozens of gay stars, its hundreds of gays in positions of creative and executive power, is still afraid to depict homosexual life: the world Hollywood knows, and could persuasively dramatize, Corliss says...
