...flair, evidenced in the spare yet cleverly suggestive sets, from the lofty bookcase and long cluttered table of Ramsden's study to the fiery red sun and mountains of Spain (complete with appropriately "Spanish" guitar music) to an eerily empty darkness that gives way to the red glow of Hell. The last scene, set in a garden in Granada, features a fountain filled with round, orange objects that tease the eye until Jack Willis picks one up and begins peeling...

Motorists in Kansas City, Mo., got a glimpse of hell: highways were closed, city streets were blocked, and police corralled hundreds of fans. In the video, author WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS, 84, whose nihilistic novels have influenced U2 front man BONO, embodies a malign force that brings down civilization.
