...expect nothing new in a Schwarzenegger movie, and he usually delivers. Take Red Heat's final runaway-bus chase . . . well, action-movie finales are always boring; that's the time to get the popcorn.

Another autoimmune disease, myasthenia gravis, a neuromuscular disorder that afflicts 15,000 Americans, is caused by antibodies that attack vital links in the nervous system, and leads to gradual loss of muscular control. Initial studies suggest that small doses of cyclosporine may be effective in blunting the symptoms of the disease. Some researchers, however, are searching for a more selective remedy that involves mass-producing antibodies that are specific to one antigen. These so-called monoclonal antibodies are designed to immobilize only those B cells that produce the antibodies responsible for the disease...

Kennedy, who had refused to fracture the party, had split the antiwar movement. There was grumbling across the land and throughout the hastily chartered campaign plane...
...girls have begun to dance. They are wearing bikini underwear and long white T-shirts. The shirts have slits down the middle, starting at the neck. Two muscular Checkers' employees fire water from machine gun shaped squirt guns at the girls' chests...
