...uncle (while sitting next to me!) told a stewardess, "I just want you to know that this is the worst airline I have ever flown in my entire life."

...frames are available for $50 (less flamboyant cases are available gratis, with purchase), and Peoples does the same kind of careful detail work that Coasters and fast trackers like to lavish on their cars. One Optec Japan staff member is employed exclusively to hand color each nose pad to look like tortoiseshell.

The sound track naturally resounds with the orgasmic hammering of the Lewis beat, wails with the simple, not to say crude, sexual metaphors of his lyrics. Dennis Quaid very successfully re-creates his dervish-like stage presence (he made Elvis' pelvis look as if it were stuck in the mud) in a portrayal that goes over the top in nicely calculated measure. And Winona Ryder contributes a hypnotically enigmatic performance -- articulate innocence and inarticulate knowingness all mixed up -- as the singer's nymphet bride. All these authenticities fitfully but forcefully remind...
