...zipped like the Super-Chief through a plot of political and journalistic malfeasance. When director Howard Hawks in 1940 changed ace reporter Hildy Johnson from man to woman, the story was also about another frantic combat: marriage. Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell are the sparring partners in the fastest, nastiest farce Hollywood has ever made...

The nastiest and most effective '88 political ad featured the hardened visage of convict William Horton, a murderer who had fled Massachusetts during a prison furlough and then stabbed a man and raped his fiancé. Republicans said Dukakis had turned his state's prison gates into "a revolving door." Dukakis pointed out that...
