...time about 15 to 20 students, almost a third of them girls, are in the program. Upon a student's arrival, counselors gather a personal history, which often reveals that a pattern of academic decline began with some crisis: the death of a parent, an episode of sexual abuse. During their daily 5 1/2 hours, students do regular schoolwork and take part in a much praised program developed by Dr. Deborah Prothrow-Stith, the state's public health commissioner, that tries to teach them how to discharge anger without resorting to violence. The school also uses scare-tactic "field trips...
...GITLIN also argues that, despite the turmoil and tragedy of the period itself and the radical movement's undignified implosion in the Seventies, the Sixties left a potent political and social legacy that continues to operate in our own day, in forms such as a liberalized racial and sexual climate and a powerful social counterweight against Executive warmaking...
...Justices have also recognized that the need for an orderly school environment sometimes imposes limits on those rights. In recent years, for example, the majority has voted to permit the search of student possessions without a warrant and has allowed school officials to suspend a student for making sexual innuendos in a speech.

But 90 minutes of Murphy, prowling the stage in duds of black and blue (just like his comedy), can wear thin when the text of his sermon is the cupidity of women and the stupidity...
...that confounds cliche and a plot that is both devious and inevitable. As photographed by David Watkin (Out of Africa), Moonstruck is as pristine and fanciful as Lady and the Tramp. As directed by Norman Jewison (A Soldier's Story), it moves with the crack of sexual friction. Jewison has also put together a terrific ensemble of actors. Cher, rag-dolled up in heavy Sicilian eyebrows, relaxes into her most engaging movie role. And Cage has a great time segueing from Stanley Kowalski, absentmindedly scratching himself with his prosthesis, into a Brooklyn Barrymore. Moonstruck proves there is life in movie...
