...trees on his shoulder, upend telephone booths with little punks inside. In Mark L. Lester's puckishly violent Commando, he righteously kills dozens of people in his determination to save a single life; as one helpful woman observes of Arnold and his adversaries, "These guys eat too much red meat." John McTiernan's Predator (1987) twists another commando genre into a jungle monster movie: half a dozen supersoldiers infiltrate enemy territory -- and Arnold gets to go mano a mano with a space alien who looks like the Creature from the Black Hole. And in this year's Total Recall, directed...
...problem only grew worse, city officials across the nation sought to drive beggars from their tunnels and parks and public doorways. The homeless became targets; sleeping vagrants were set afire, doused with acid and, in a particularly horrific attack in New York City last Halloween, slashed with a meat cleaver. Finally came resignation. After years of running hurdles over bodies in train stations, of being hustled by panhandlers on the street, many urban dwellers moved past pity to contempt, and are no longer scalded by the suffering they...
...aperitifs, the A.O. and his companion want a sparkling wine -- and what could be livelier than the 1986 Ste. Chapelle Blanc de Noir brut?

Some stores have taken to closing early in the day for lack of anything to sell. To halt worsening shortages, Leningrad took the dramatic step of introducing rationing of key staples last week. Moscow is also debating emergency measures. The Supreme Soviet has given Gorbachev until the end of this week to come up with a plan to halt shortages in major industrial areas. Addressing a meeting of the Moscow City Communist Party...
...plight. Nowhere did the message get through more clearly than in Germany, where a national campaign to deliver food assistance is being directed by the government and private organizations. Last week more than 100,000 food parcels -- each containing enough coffee, sugar, rice, powdered milk, cheese and canned meat to feed one person for two weeks -- were shipped to the Soviet Union. During a one-hour television broadcast called Helft Russland (Help Russia), which aired last week throughout Germany, Chancellor Helmut Kohl appealed for donations. Kohl reminded his countrymen that Gorbachev "helped us Germans on the way to unity...
