...part film aired to great acclaim by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1992, then shown to further hosannas last summer in a Manhattan movie house-is surely the most compelling and edifying horror movie of the decade. It is written (by Des Walsh, John N. Smith and Sam Grana), directed (by Smith) and acted with a dreadful delicacy that subtly exposes both the sickness of the abusers and the beauty of the abused. But when the film plays next Sunday and Monday on cable's A&E network, that extraordinary scene between Lavin and Kevin will have been trimmed...
Fifteen Minutes caught Bellson's New York-based quintet at New York City's legendary Blue Note on January 28. Bellson, who followed in Krupa's footsteps along with Buddy Rich and Sam Woodyard, revolutionized jazz drumming by becoming a bandleader himself. Bellson also made a habit of taking the reins when playing in small groups...
...author's defense fund. Nonetheless, in the first couple of hours the book was on the shelves, sales were reported as significant.

Worse for Zedillo, whose image of weakness began with the Dec. 20 decision to print more pesos, 74 percent of citizens polled last week said they were opposed to the bailout...
Well, not quite. The missile, also built by Northrop, was racked with skyrocketing costs. Last month the Pentagon killed the $13 billion program. ``Tee-Sam is a silver bullet,'' Deputy Defense Secretary John Deutch said. ``The problem is that it's become too expensive a silver bullet.'' Northrop has since come up with a plan for 128 interim, kind-of-precision-guided weapons for the B-2 starting next year--about enough for a one-day bombing mission. Northrop is confident that a follow-on program will design a true pinpoint bomb for the B-2 in three years. That...
