Because the story was written by Ken Lipper, a deputy mayor in the Koch administration, and snazzed up by a trio of old-pro screenwriters -- Nicholas Pileggi, Paul Schrader, Bo Goldman -- and because it was shot in Gotham?s City Hall with Mayor Rudolph Giuliani?s blessing, the movie has a burly verisimilitude. "After a few reels, though, things get goofy," says TIME's Richard Corliss. "Suddenly every room is preposterously dark; the most powerful men in town can?t afford decent light bulbs. Pacino?s performance turns crazily manic: when he gives an oration for a dead...

Surpising market watchers, Apple Computer Inc. announced today that, despite higher sales, it will likely lose money in the current quarter. "It is a sign that the personal computer market is getting more fiercely competitive," says business writer Barbara Rudolph. "Apple is not about to go bankrupt, the Macintosh is still very popular, but it is an indication that they might have to start cutting costs and selling more computers.
