...late addition in the acne rash of teen stories, The Sure Thing's script (by Steven L. Bloom and Jonathan Roberts) must qualify as pretty "intellectual and stuff." Alison might fret about maintaining her grade- point average, and Gib may actually fall for her because "she happens to be an excellent judge of quality shirtwear."

In his 37-page concurring opinion Bork suggested that the courts ought to be stricter about the rash of libel suits. He did not mention General William Westmoreland's $120 million suit against CBS--in which the general's attorney vows to "dismantle" CBS News--or former Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon's $50 million suit against Time Inc. Bork examined the conflicting rights...
