...dirty snowball of lies and slander now rolling over the pages of the Western press will sooner or later melt under the rays of the truth," Pravda declared. "Only dirt will remain, which will stain for a long time the political reputation of those who were helping to mold that snowball." The target of the unusual vituperation: widespread suspicions in the West that the KGB plotted or abetted or was at least aware of the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II in May 1981, with the Bulgarian secret police serving as its proxy...

Giving the stalwart Brian Dennehy a hunky dimwit (Michael Dudikoff) for a teen-age son and a young daughter (Kathy Maisnik) who is enjoying some success as a country-and-western singer does not make him measurably less like Archie Bunker, even if his brains are heavier and his social conscience a little lighter. In Star of the Family...
