...which helps to explain why the strike and the union melted so easily. The scab games largely were ignored by the fans, who were able to have their sports appetites sated by baseball post-season action. Public pressure for a quick resolution to the impasse acceptable to both sides of the dispute thus was not very great...

Salinas, 39, will be Mexico's youngest President in more than a half- century. Like his three predecessors, Salinas is a technocrat and has never held an elected post, although he is the first economist ever to serve in a job occupied primarily by lawyers.

Lowenstein ultimately betrays his own disorganized esthetic and falls back on the same conventional plot devices that his movie ostensibly tries to subvert. There's a scene where Saskia Post, as Hutchence's girlfriend Anna, drives around in a jealous snit because her boyfriend has kissed someone else.
