...Kennedys (PBS) This documentary about the 1994 congressional race between young Patrick Kennedy and Kevin Vigilante, an accomplished physician, has all the populist wit of a Michael Moore piece without the contrivances. We learn that Vigilante didn't stand a chance against an opponent who wooed voters with the musk of Camelot...
...turn on the radio again, ENRIQUE IGLESIAS, son of Julio, has released an album. In its second week on Billboard's Latin charts, the single Si Tu Te Vas is at No. 6, while the elder Iglesias' latest tune languishes at 17. Father and son share a certain musk-scented vocal quality, it's true, but Julio knew nothing of Enrique's interest in music until Enrique got a three-album deal with Fonovisa. "He was kind of shocked," says Iglesias Jr. Non-Latin lovers, despair not: he hopes to make an English album soon...
...endangered animals that you failed to cover in your story ((Environment, Nov. 14)) is that many of these products have genuine medicinal purposes.

The screenplay's big achievement is to create four people who are already...
...REPUTATION OF EUGENE O'Neill occupies the American stage the way your grandparents' sofa might dominate your living room. The thing is dark, overstuffed, too big and too long. Its style affronts modern taste; it has an odor that lingers somewhere between musty and musk. Yet you're afraid to toss the thing out because you've been told it's a valuable antique. And some people do say they feel comfortable sitting...
