...ranging from Israeli Cabinet decisions to congressional votes on the American budget. In particular, Ronald Reagan comes out of the crisis enjoying a new lift in public support and praise from some of his sharpest critics, who confessed that in this case at least he was not the headstrong hawk they had so long feared. Reagan's image as a statesman was further burnished last week by Moscow's agreement to a summit conference between him and Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev, to be held Nov. 19 and 20 in Geneva (see WORLD). But the President also faces the equally daunting...
...delay, the State Department submitted for the President's approval a proposal to supply Jordan with $250 million to $300 million in economic aid. Although details of the package remain to be defined, the Administration also would like to supply Hussein with advanced Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, improved Hawk mobile antiaircraft missiles and Stinger hand-held ground-to-air missiles...
...palliative efforts. Veterans' Stadium in Philadelphia hires off-duty police to roam the stands and see that drunks are cut off.

Their faces were so noble, their souls so pure, their love so strong, that in 13th century France they just about had to be cursed. And so they were: Etienne of Navarre (Rutger Hauer) is transformed into a wolf each night; the lady Isabeau (Michelle Pfeiffer) must become a hawk by day. Always together, eternally apart, these two ironic superheroes have a mediating companion, the impish cutpurse Phillipe (Matthew Broderick again). Not a bad premise for a wistful romance, especially when it stars three such appealing actors. Alas, the script (by Edward Khmara, Michael Thomas and Tom Mankiewicz) jumbles modern...
