...allegations that he was involved with the private funding of the contras through contacts with a former CIA agent called Max Gomez. I feel pretty darn strongly about this because I've heard these rumors and I've been a victim of some of them. I've told the truth, and yet I continue to read these stories. So I can speak more viscerally than if I hadn't felt the sting of some of these false charges. There is this insidious suggestion that I was conducting an operation.

...writer E. Max Frye decided to develop the refreshing characters he had created and to explore the shortcomings and the advantages of their unique love, this film might have been immensely satisfying. Instead, he introduces Audrey's psychotic ex-convict ex-husband, Ray (Ray Liotta), and the film loses its uniqueness.

Solid Citizen Jeff Daniels meets Madcap Airhead Melanie Griffith and in a trice is stripped, handcuffed, kidnaped, beaten up and plied with big wet licky kisses. Natch, he goes for it. "What are you gonna do," Melanie asks, "now that you've seen how the other half lives . . . the other half of you." Daniels holds together better than the movie, which lurches...
...Through Sept. 30, the National Republican Senatorial Committee distributed $6.7 million to its candidates, while the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee could muster only $2.8 million in funds. The Senate campaign committees are each limited by law to spending roughly $12 million for all Senate races. The G.O.P. expects to "max out" its cash limits in every one of its tough races, while the financially strapped Democrats will not be able to come close. The Republicans are now topping those limits with an additional $6 million in supposedly direct contributions to candidates that were "bundled" together in a national fund-raising...
