...police force of 70 officers is at half the authorized strength because of layoffs. Its newest patrol car is nearly five years old. Many cars no longer have functioning two-way radios for lack of repair funds, and some cops have had to buy their own. There is no money to hire recruits, and the average age of the force is up to a doddering 46 1/2 years. "We just don't have the money and the personnel to keep the peace," sighs Inspector Lawrence Brewer, a veteran of nearly 22 years in the department. "There are guys literally jumping...
Washington unsheathed the newest weapon in its trade arsenal: a law requiring the U.S. Trade Representative to single out countries that systematically restrict American access to their markets.

Lucas and Spielberg, Ford and Connery prove that a sequel can be as fresh as the face of a teenage Indy confronting his first hairbreadth challenge. Indy 3 is the same, different and better. It infuses vitality into the action-adventure, a movie staple whose ravenous popularity and endless, predictable permutations have nearly exhausted...
...fair to the individual work, but any novel by Alice Walker invites comparison to The Color Purple, the book that brought her into the limelight. And her newest book, The Temple of My Familiar just cannot measure...
