...Westermann, wrote an internal memo warning of Bolton's embellishments, he was summoned to Bolton's office and subjected to a finger-wagging tirade. Westermann's boss at the time, Carl W. Ford Jr., told the committee in a public hearing two weeks ago that he considered Bolton "a serial abuser" of underlings and "a quintessential kiss-up, kickdown sort...
Enter Colonel Gillespie. Sjeklocha had the soldier fly to Orlando to inspect the weapons. According to an FBI affidavit, Sjeklocha told Witkowski that he had "used Gillespie before in France and Germany to check items for him."

Lucas knew that his ongoing confessions would delay a transfer to the Texas death row at Huntsville...
Some movie genres will just not lie still under Lawrence Kasdan's knife. As screenwriter (Raiders of the Lost Ark) and writer-director (Body Heat), he has performed deft surgery on the Saturday-matinee serial and the film noir melodrama. But the western will not yield.

Though the film interrupts its chases and shootouts to let some fine actors stare meaningfully or spit out a little sagebrush wisdom, it rarely allows them to build...
