...Serb-dominated federal Yugoslav People's Army, the rebels have steadily gained control of the roughly one-quarter of Croatian territory where they have a strong ethnic presence. Under those conditions, why should Milosevic, whose power at home is girded by what most Serbs see as a righteous war for Serbian self-determination next door, accept a peace forged by foreigners...
...warrior woman who crushed the killer robot in a hydraulic press and spat out the immortal line: "You're terminated, f---er." In T2 Sarah is a guerrilla gone south, dynamiting computer facilities, threatening to inject drain cleaner into the veins of her captors, stashing weapons with her own righteous version of the Baader-Meinhof Gang. She is a more twisted sister of Sigourney Weaver's Ripley in Aliens (also written and directed by T2's James Cameron), who proves her maternal mettle by blasting a space monster to ugly bits...
...curious and somewhat ironic commentary on high government that the designated roughnecks like Adams and Sununu often end up as victims of the terrible swift sword that they loved to wield so much. Adams by all accounts enjoyed laying about in righteous fervor in the name of national interest.

A couple of the new songs, such as Real Niggaz Don't Die and Appetite for Destruction, can really stir things up: their fury is incendiary.

It is for hard-case rappers, and it is no sell-out. N.W.A. got to the No. 1 spot by bearing down just as hard as it always...
...Jane Wyman daring a love that flouts convention; and Imitation of Life, in which wannabe white woman Susan Kohner throws herself on her black mother's coffin and sobs out her remorse to the throb of a Mahalia Jackson spiritual. Jungle Fever is no less brazen -- or assured. A righteous man shoots his deranged son, and the man's wife unleashes a scream that blends with the gospel wail of . . . Mahalia Jackson. Here Jungle Fever ascends fearlessly into the delirium of high Hollywood melodrama: it's berserk Sirk...
