...past. Hazel's grandfather was an evangelical preacher; Hazel decides to revolt against his legacy by starting his own "Church Without Christ." As forcefully played by Brad Dourif (the stuttering inmate in One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest), the young hero is an angry, obsessed loner with penetrating eyes and a fierce bark. When he tries and fails to start his new church, he meets a large array of even greater crackpots: a charlatan street preacher who fakes blindness (Harry Dean Stanton), a zookeeper (Daniel Shor) in search of an animalistic deity, an evangelical merchandising expert...

...Communist agent. Park was acquitted-after turning state's evidence against several of his fellow officers. During the Korean War, his aloofness set him apart from other generals of his country's army, who were known familiarly to their American colleagues by anglicized nicknames. Park, a puritanical loner, was always ''General Park.'' In 1961, a year after the ouster of Strongman Syngman Rhee, Park and four other generals seized power in a coup; two years later Park won the presidency by a narrow margin in a surprisingly free and fair election...
