...package to help avoid an Argentine-style financial crisis. But the cornerstone of that package?an expanded value-added tax?has been suspended by the Supreme Court. Increasingly, Arroyo is no longer seen as an asset but a liability. "We were on the verge of a major boom," says Joey Salceda, a Congressman who helped devise the economic plan. "That's gone...
...bleak Minneapolis apartment. The TV is tuned to All My Children, and Stephanie Charette, 17, has collapsed on the sofa. Her rest is brief. Above the babble of the actors' voices comes a piercing wail. Larissa, her three-week-old daughter, is hungry.

Suffice to say that this adaptation of the graphic novel by John Wagner has four outbreaks of jolting violence to give some kick to a penetrating character study; and that the real Joey Cusack has a savory showdown with his mob-boss brother Richie (played by William Hurt with a rich pleasure in menace). Mortensen, whose Tom is as stalwart as his Middle-Earth Aragorn, is completely convincing and utterly hunky -a man worth loving, no matter...
