Enter Congressman Bill Chappell, a Florida Democrat, who introduced a measure to allow importation of the M-1s. Chappell contends that a check of the rifles' serial numbers shows that they were sold, not given, to the Koreans. The Congressman said he was trying to help a business that has been victimized by an overly restrictive interpretation of the law. Democratic Senator Howard Metzenbaum of Ohio objected that Chappell's bill was "designed to help one group of people make millions...
...failed to work; the Nixon tome earned him $2.2 million, and the hardback became a best seller. But the phrase caught the spirit of the only official ethical stand that Americans have ventured on sensational exploitations. In some 30 states, so-called Son of Sam laws (named for the serial murderer who killed six young women in New York City in 1976 and 1977) now seek to ensure that victims rather than criminals share whatever profits are made as spinoffs from crimes...
...lethal charm of Sean Connery, along with a touch of crabby Harrison Ford. This Bond is as fast on his feet as with his wits; an ironic scowl creases his face; he's battle ready yet war-weary. And in the age of AIDS, even Bond must bend to serial monogamy; this time, for reasons of plot and propriety, he's a one-gal guy.

...turns angry, bewildered and curious, an anxious crowd descended on the Jefferson Square Theater in Columbia, S.C., last week. Their aim: to play a role in the next installment of a long-running American serial of sex, cash and power -- a show resembling some lurid made-for-TV mini-series that might be called God and Money. For six hours, harassed officials of the embattled PTL (for Praise the Lord or People That Love) ministry were confronted at a public bankruptcy hearing by members of the flock that had supported the $203 million religious empire created by its ousted leaders...
...this fine-handed thriller, the stairs leading from living room to bedroom are littered with bloody archetypes: mom at the bottom, stepdad at the top, daughter in between poised to destroy the black widower. Donald E. Westlake based his sleek script on the case of a New Jersey serial killer. Director Joseph Ruben brings his no-nonsense classicism to what could have been just another tabloid horror story. And Schoelen is the most appealing teen in recent movies. But the triumph is O'Quinn's. With his a- mite-too-wide smile, unctuous pieties and neatly calibrated spasms of rage...
