Welcome to show biz, Michael. You're going to write a lot of ibids under this scene. For among the other aliens from Hollywood's outer space are a terminally insecure screenwriter hilariously impersonated by that perfectly assured actor Bob Hoskins; a leading man (Michael Caine) who comes alive only when he puts himself at risk, either by seducing other men's wives or by driving dangerously; a director (Saul Rubinek) whose perfect tastelessness is matched by his impenetrable egocentricity.

Outside the temple complex, police commandos and paramilitary forces stood by to reclaim the holy place from the Sikh extremists who had seized control three months before. Pilgrims were advised to leave. Soon afterward, 300 commandos swept into the outer offices of the complex, arresting student leaders.

But one- year certificates of deposit, which earned a handsome 15% or more in 1981, now bring savers only 8% or so. Result: many consumers, suffering from single- digit shock, have started moving their IRA accounts to Wall Street in search of better yields. IRAs invested in stocks typically earned a 26% return last year. "We're clobbering the banks. It looks like the tables have turned," boasts Gary Strum, first vice president in charge of pension...
