...corpses of loved ones. Keller has just lost his wife in a car crash, Silvia most of her family back home in Africa, under the bloody rule of the man who is about to deliver an address to the General Assembly. Add Keller's private anguish to her political rage, throw in the ticking time bomb of the international-intrigue plot, and there's enough narrative for three fine films...
Given the long-standing American passion for chocolate and ice cream and the current rage for Tex-Mex fare, the invention of the Choco Taco was probably inevitable. Created by the Jack & Jill Ice Cream Co. in Philadelphia, this ethnic hybrid provides an intriguing combination of flavor texture contrasts. The basis is a crisp, taco-shaped sugar-cone wafer enfolding fudge-swirled vanilla ice cream. Over that goes chocolate-flavored coating encrusted chopped peanuts. The result is the kind of crunchy novelty snack that children and their dentists dream about. At a suggested 89¢ each, this Choco Taco just might...
Against this background of gentle murmurings, Author Barry Hannah, 43, persists in making rude noises.

...networks' other summer offerings appear to be more viable commercial enterprises, or at least more shrewdly targeted. Nostalgia for the 1950s and '60s is the rage this summer, as the networks try to woo members of the baby-boom generation, presumably those viewers who are most likely to sample other video choices. How else to excuse Our Time, a tacky half-hour music-variety show that premiered on NBC last weekend? With Host Karen Valentine joined by guests like Night Court's Harry Anderson, the show tries to take a lighthearted look at the '50s and '60s but supplies only...
