...worked with Hitchcock as a student, Psycho II picks up the few surviving characters from the master's original. Vera Miles, 51, returns as Leigh's sister, "and Mom is definitely six feet under - in the beginning," says Perkins, ominously adhering to a studio order not to reveal the plot before the movie comes out next year. As for Norman, "In the old story he saw himself as a victim," says Perkins. "He's a smarter guy now. He realizes he has the potential of being dangerous."

Insiders say that management's goal is to trim the staff by 15%. Supervisors have warned their workers that...
Shorris does not convincingly indict the neoconservatives, nor does he reveal new insight into the meaning of Judaism. The value of Jews Without Mercy is an inadvertent reminder that morality, including religious morality, can be a productive facet of secular policy making and statesmanship. Without going to the extreme of imposing religious strictures on others, a la the Moral Majority, political and economic leaders can still form effective policy based on moral grounds...
