...vengeful mother-in-law, whose scowl could knock down a tree, Muhammad gives the most memorable performance. She is engaging and her movements across the stage purposeful and powerful. One could only wish to have a mother so fiercely loyal that she would be so bad in an effort to defend one's post-mortem honor. Cheek and Legagneur transmit their characters' annoying qualities of boundless naivete and excessive idealism very well, though in general both were lacking in subtlty of emotion (not a serious liability in a melodrama of this magnitude).

Several leading venues on the Internet, including c|net and Time Warner's Pathfinder, now use Java applets with links to the wire services to display live news tickers running across the screen...
...policies begin to dovetail, and crime drops through the floor. "Most criminals commit multiple crimes," he says. "We're processing crime data faster than ever before, so we can identify patterns early and stop them after three crimes instead of 30. If you do that city-wide, you'll knock the crime rate down...
