...these changes neither distract nor detract: Benjamin and Salie are the clear talents of this show, and they deserve some room to experiment. Benjamin plays Bunny with obvious relish, and her lines are delivered smartly, sharply: "Mr. Einhorn, if it took all this to get you here, I kiss the calendar for today. Grief puts erasers in my ears. My world is kept a beautiful place. Artie...I feel a song coming on." Salie is a riveting Bananas; her face visibly pained when forced to swallow pills, her voice full of fear when she describes shock treatments...
That Bush knows the jig is up seemed evident in the second presidential debate last week -- a forum that resembled a teach-in rather than a brawl. Scripted to strike again at Clinton's character, Bush clearly didn't relish the role. Swatted down by Clinton, who wouldn't play, and then by the moderator and the audience, Bush avoided pressing his charge that Clinton's demonstrating against the Vietnam War while studying abroad should be received as a disqualifying act.

A few Republicans are fretting (Perot's an "egotistical pest," says former Education Secretary Bill Bennett), but the party's big guns are smartly encouraging Perot to follow his instincts: "If Ross Perot's re-entry puts even more focus on the federal deficit," says Senator Bob Dole, "it will be a plus for everyone . . ." Thus, in the debates, Bush will defend his record, but he will gladly take the hit as long as Perot swipes equally at Clinton, which...
...farther than the older picture did in straightening and strengthening the plot -- about a besieged fort, the ill-timed attempt of the commandant's daughter to join her father there and the anarchy that follows his surrender. Even Magua, the treacherous Indian villain of the piece, played with deadly relish by Wes Studi, is given a good motive for his dastardliness, the dignity of his otherness and even allowed a nanosecond of pity for one of his victims. Above all Mann has seen to it that something spooky, suspenseful or just plain action packed happens every five minutes...
