Watch out, America, full moon's coming. That's when a wily psychopath -- a werewolf of modern paranoid fantasies -- turns some idyllic suburban home into a slaughterhouse. And when anyone wanders too close, the psycho (Tom Noonan) festers into action. A tabloid journalist (Stephen Lang) ends up flambeed in a runaway wheelchair. A photo-lab technician (Joan Allen), whose blindness has not inhibited her taste for sexual adventure, invites the psycho home and is soon in mortal peril. His only nemesis is Will Graham (William L. Petersen), an ex-FBI agent who uses a kind of Method forensics to identify...

Private and state-run companies are ringing up huge losses, and traditional export markets are shrinking. Says one Hungarian journalist: "The mood is more unsettled and apprehensive in this country than at any time since...
...University School of Medicine, tried to turn his appointments with Prostitute Robin Benedict into a love affair. The price to Douglas was his savings; the cost to Benedict was her life. This is the most sensitively rendered of nine crime tales of middle-class America. In each of them, Journalist Linda Wolfe sounds a persistent theme: warning signals usually precede "unpredictable" criminal acts. Her accounts are too brief for a true understanding of minds gone wrong, but she makes even the most absurd act -- and its subsequent explanation -- seem plausible. A carefully polished alibi is undone by an overlooked credit...
