...friend Marco (Greg Martyn) embodies a more generic rags-to-riches cliche. A strapping Italian hunk, he becomes the rich actress's kept man, uses her money to start himself in business, then (after eluding an attempt to deport him) vows to get an education and make lots of money. "I'm gonna have it all, Jake," he announces, celebrating what is surely that line's 100th anniversary in show business. The soap opera continues with Bridget and Georgie O'Donnell (Alice Krige and Judi Bowker), a pair of sisters who flee Ireland when Bridget...

This ain't Hollywood." The promoter tried to get local papers to run ads containing mail-order ticket coupons...
...parts: hardware, the machinery that makes up a computer, and software, the programs of instructions that tell computers what to do. And while the hardware is visible and tangible, the child knows that software is the soul of the machine. Without software, a computer is little more than a hunk of plastic and silicon that might as well be used as a doorstop. A computer without software is like a car without gasoline, a camera without film, a stereo without records. This year Americans will spend an estimated $65 billion on computers of all kinds. They will lay down...
