...associates, on a chance universe in which they inhabit one of the chancier corners. He can't prevent himself from falling in love (with Amy Brenneman's innocent bookstore clerk). He can't prevent his most valuable henchman and his wife (Val Kilmer and Ashley Judd) from marital misbehavior that threatens his enterprise. He can't, in general, prevent blighted human nature from scribbling all over his neat blueprints. This leaves him vulnerable to a policeman--nice irony here--who is more accepting of the world's anarchy than...
...moon was out, a couple of nights before Halloween 1993, when Marshall Chapman and her band, the Love Slaves, played at the Tennessee State Prison for Women.

The charge that tipped the balance was that...
...Giovanni. In the text, he isolates from that piece a passage that erupts spectacularly in a cascade of chromatic octaves alternating with single notes. Liszt's dramatic ingenuity, writes Rosen, would "make explicit a Victorian condemnation of Don Juan's morals and amount to an assertion that his erotic misbehavior will lead to eternal damnation...
