Perot will of course play this role with relish. It's his only card, the ticket to rehabilitating his reputation. 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.

"The National Front Disco" is a vaguely catchy tune about a small-town teen lost in the wilds of the nightclub scene, and Morrissey delivers the tale with relish. He also proves he's still capable of knocking off a diverting lyric with "You're the One for Me, Fatty." In this song he beseeches his obese sweetheart to "say if I'm ever in your way..a-hey,-a HAAAAY." He really wallows in the line, and the song offers hope that his old languid wail...
...emphatic, headstrong side of the President -- a side the Irish would relish -- is rarely seen. She admits that she doused the spontaneous side of her nature when she joined the bewigged, masculine Irish bar. Even now she is loath to provide a glimpse into her exemplary private life. When she toured the U.S. last fall, she came across as rather straitlaced. An American who talked to her said the unthinkable: "She's Nancy Reagan -- only good...
