...Navy has decided to reinstate a gay officer, reports Stern's sidekick, Robin Quivers. Stern responds with a mincing homosexual imitation, then argues that gays in the military should have separate quarters to avoid sexual promiscuity. "When I get nude in front of a gay guy, they get so hot that they can't control themselves." Russian President Boris Yeltsin has made another plea for economic aid. "Those stupid lazy bastard Russians," snaps Stern. "They're under communism so long they can't even produce anything." Amy Fisher, the Long Island teenager charged with murder, has just appeared...

Not every first-time director can make Citizen Kane; the budget, let alone the vision, would be out of reach. But a Mean Streets, Martin Scorsese's 1973 breakthrough film about a brotherhood of toughs in Manhattan's Little Italy...
...dance concludes with a lone nude dancer left vulnerably in the center of the stage. She is soon surrounded by her counterparts in their dresses and heels. The hardedged harlots do not overtake this divine image, however. Instead, they remove their pumps as the nude dancer rises from the floor, and all turn and walk upstage into the darkness...
