...ones in the cast -- Carter, Ken Page and Armelia McQueen -- are just as fleshily beguiling as before. They jiggle and strut with weighty grace unseen since the heyday of Jackie Gleason. The skinny ones -- Andre De Shields and Charlaine Woodard -- stomp and slither like sticks turning into snakes. The years have changed nothing except to add emotional texture. McQueen is still cute, but now conveys heartache beneath. De Shields has ripened from Superfly sleekness into a leading man's virility. The biggest change is in Carter, whose widely publicized battles with weight, cocaine and star-size ego have enriched...

...said. "I normally look to my family for support when I need it." Dukakis also seized the opportunity to rise magnanimously above Reagan. "We all occasionally misspeak," he said. "I don't really think the President had to apologize." Gerald Plotkin, Dukakis' doctor since 1971, released a detailed three-page report pronouncing Dukakis "in excellent health and physical shape." Wrote Plotkin: "He has had no psychological symptoms, complaints or treatment." Before the week ended, Dukakis set aside his resistance to releasing medical records and made known everything in Plotkin's file. All that remained unreleased, Plotkin said, were prescriptions...
