Family Matters is a more clean-cut comedy but is, in its own way, equally outre. Steve Urkel, the Winslow family's gadget-obsessed neighbor, has grown from prepubescence to college age on the show but still dresses and talks like a four-year-old. Watching Urkel--played by the twentysomething and seemingly 6-ft.-tall Jaleel White--comport himself as though he should be in a play group is more disconcerting than anything that ever went on in The Twilight Zone...
...ultimately it is the character of Dr. Relling, the Ekdals' cynical, dissipated neighbor, who becomes the dominating symbol of this production. Foil and foe to Gregers, profoundly contemptuous of the latter's lofty "claims of the ideal," convinced that the average man or family (like the Ekdals) needs lies and illusions, not ideals, to survive, the worldweary doctor is played effectively--almost too effectively--by Jack Willis, who cuts a Jack Nicholson-like figure with his sardonic drawl and menacing animus towards Gregers. His is the image that lasts, the voice that crowds out the others and cuts down even...
...Malaysia, where Nicholson arrived in 1992, he was what the CIA calls a declared asset, meaning the U.S. informed the Malaysian government, though no one else, that he was a spy. In the expatriate community, he made little impression except as a genial neighbor and a leader of the Eagle Scout troop that included son Jeremiah. During Nicholson's two years in Kuala Lumpur, one of the main jobs for American intelligence agents was tracking leads in the terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City. The suspected mastermind of the bombing, Ramzi Yousef, had passed through...
Petrocelli & Co. has, for instance, rethought the time line. Prosecutors Clark and Christopher Darden built their case on the theory that the murders were committed between 10:15 and 10:20 p.m. on June 12, bringing on Nicole's neighbor Pablo Fenjves to testify that he heard the "plaintive wail" of Kato the Akita at around that time. The prosecutors felt that gave Simpson plenty of time to commit the murders, then return to his Rockingham estate by about 10:45 or 10:50, which is when limousine driver Allan Park says he saw a dark figure entering the house...
...policy proposal and a media event to communicate it. The result was two months' worth of policies, often with two or three events a week. The campaign model, duplicated again and again, was a low-cost proposal to strengthen communities accompanied by a bully-pulpit road show featuring Good Neighbor Bill. Everything was coming up values. Morris began cherry-picking good new ideas throughout the Executive Branch, using his unmatched zeal to push them to fruition. The West Wing became a floating policy meeting that gave way to a scheduling meeting that segued into a message-development meeting. Clinton loved...
