...Warhol; it replicates a visit Glimcher and his family made to have their snaps taken for a Warhol portrait. Close watchers of The Mambo Kings will also discern the phantom signatures of a few revered auteurs. "I like Bob Fosse's films very much," Glimcher says. "So the strip joint in my film and the close-up of a decrepit stripper's knee give off echoes of Sweet Charity. Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull is a film that means the world to me, and when you first see Cathy Moriarty here, she's wearing the upswept hairdo from Raging Bull...
...wonder some experts in Moscow are predicting that the ruble will soon join the Soviet Union on history's trash heap. In an interview with the newspaper Rabochaya Tribuna, economist Yevgeni Petrakov foresaw the "downfall" of the ruble within several months and urged joint action by members of the Commonwealth of Independent States to ease the crisis. Other leading experts doubt that monetary reform by itself can revitalize the economy.

...joint, said the American architect Louis Kahn, was the beginning of all ornament. Puryear's work accepts and celebrates this.

ANTITRUST. Both Tsongas and Clinton are ardent free traders, but only Tsongas sees the antitrust laws as inhibiting the nation's ability to compete abroad. "Current antitrust laws," he says, "prevent American companies from joint venturing in almost any area, including such critical ones as research and development." On this, Tsongas is just dead wrong. Even the American Bar Association's antitrust contingent, which is heavy with attorneys who represent manufacturing clients, and which therefore supports the fewest obstacles to unfettered business enterprise, has concluded that the law is fine as it stands. "He's just plain misinformed," says Stephen...
Director Uri Barbash depicts an Israeli prison holding both Jewish and Arab prisoners. The obvious animosity between the inmates is contrasted with their joint contempt for the prison administration. The Jewish and Arab leaders come to the realization that the jail wardens thrive on the inter-ethnic competition that they intentionally foster. Arnon Zadok and Muhamed Bakri are wellcast as the brutal leaders of the two inmate groups. Their rivalry climaxes during a bloody fight, after which they join together in a hunger strike...
