Except, of course, that Stone doesn't let you stand back. NBK plunders every visual trick of avant-garde and mainstream cinema -- morphing, back projection, slow motion, animation and pixillation on five kinds of film stock -- and, for two delirious hours, pushes them in your face like a Cagney grapefruit. The actors go hyper-hyper, the camera is ever on the bias, the garish colors converge and collide, and you're caught in this Excedrin vision of America in heat. The ride is fun too, daredevil fun of the sort that only Stone seems willing to provide in this timid...
...Mainstream Coalition," a bipartisan group of 16 senators working on a health-care compromise, may not have as much influence as Inside-the-Beltway hype has suggested. The coalition, led by Sen. John Chafee, R-R.I., hoped to present Senate leaders today with a bill designed to break the impasse between Republicans and Democrats. It would put cost controls on the insurance industry, and take employers off the hook of having to provide bill for coverage. But this morning, Congressional Budget Office Director Robert Reischauer said their numbers didn't add up. Chafee called the briefing "sobering," but added...
...Senators responded to Senate majority leader George Mitchell's threat to work them round the clock by helping to pass the first amendment to his health-care reform bill. But the G.O.P. isn't exactly giving in. They plan to unleash a barrage of their own amendments. Meanwhile, the "mainstream coalition," a moderate group that appears to be gaining influence, met behind closed doors to fashion a sweeping package of amendments to present to both Mitchell and Senate minority leader Bob Dole...

Though the 60-person conference did not include leaders of the mainstream pro-life groups, with their millions of sympathizers, it did attract the movement's radical wing, whose adherents make up the majority of clinic protesters. Scheidler and other attendees report that after nearly two days of debate, barely half those present specifically repudiated Hill's extremist views. Adds Scheidler: "It wasn't just justifiable homicide; it was ((support for)) violence, bombing and arson . . . I thought, 'Wow! The movement has gone through some kind...
...week, the American Center for Law and Justice (A.C.L.J.), a self- styled conservative clone of the American Civil Liberties Union (A.C.L.U.), was supplying Hill's legal defense on earlier charges of harassing abortion patients. The A.C.L.J. is part of the religiopolitical empire of Pat Robertson, who certainly considers himself mainstream. Yet Hill never made a secret of his belief in the moral necessity of killing abortionists. The * A.C.L.J. says it was representing Hill because the harassment charges infringe his First Amendment right to protest. But the A.C.L.J. is not the A.C.L.U., which routinely defends the rights of people it profoundly...
