Cher, as the never-aging sex-pot Cissy, becomes the perfect foil for the unstable Mona. Her character has had the same wonderful figure--boobs and all--for 20 years and she resounds with a sensuous good humor. In this difficult role, Cher doesn't allow her character to become a stereotypical, dizzy nymph. In fact, she uses her sensuality and dark good looks to present a raunchy woman who has more to offer than a mane of wavy black hair. Cher shows a new side of her abilities as an actress with the fluidity of her movements that reveal...
...President doesn't want any yes men and women around him," Elizabeth Dole once remarked. "When he says no, we all say no." Behind the wry humor, there was a hint of truth. As assistant to President Reagan for public liaison and the highest-ranking woman in the White House, Elizabeth ("Liddy") Dole has been a silent team player, wielding little influence and rarely speaking out on women's issues.

His stock soared during the last session when, almost singlehanded, he shepherded through Congress $98.3 billion worth of tax hikes designed to offset the staggering federal deficit...

Playwright Hayes puts two sisters in a room with their dying mother and the pair harrow up the past and the present with bitter intensity and acridly funny put-down humor...
...Doonesbury anyway? I for one have no idea who Uncle Duke is, and I don't really care. I've tried reading Doonesbury a few times--it wasn't easy getting past that over-stylized and repulsive artwork--and I found it to be singularly not funny. Trudeau's "humor" is, at best, generic, and his characters are either stereotypes or hold-overs from the '60s. To claim that the loss of Doonesbury is a cultural tragedy is like suggesting that Friday the 13th Part III is progressive filmmaking. It's about time Trudeau put away his crayons. Doonesbury...
