These melancholy accounts ought to signify a collective failure. Yet as Manic Power shows, the four men found an odd consolation in catastrophe, savoring their roles as the Bards Damned by Their Gifts, perennial favorites since the abbreviated days of Byron, Shelley and Keats. The tragedy of Lowell and his circle is not that they were martyrs to an unfeeling society, but that they played their parts too fervently. As each man drew closer to his finale, he discovered too late that it was impossible to remove the mask...
Hello Again abuses the talent of its cast with an inexcuseably trite fairy tale of a plot. Lucy Chadman (Shelley Long) is a frumpy, suburban housewife who feels somewhat displaced in the glitzy Manhattan cocktail set that she mingles with for the sake of her ambitious husband (Corbin Bernsen). "Isn't this party just suhblime!" coos Lucy's best friend and society beauty, Kim (Sela Ward). But nervous Lucy commits one social faux pas after another, culminating in a grand exit down the balustrade where she exposes more than just her sheepish grin...
Bork's special scorn has been reserved for the court's expansions of individual and civil rights in the past four decades. Among the decisions that Bork has blasted as groundless and unconstitutional: a seminal 1948 decision, Shelley v.

...American dad is a psychopathic murderer. In his suburban home, with his new wife (Shelley Hack) and stepdaughter (Jill Schoelen), Jerry Blake (Terry O'Quinn) exudes the righteous good cheer of another famous insurance salesman, Jim Anderson in Father Knows Best. He may even believe the myth he is peddling. But its weight crushes him, forces him to kill the thing he should love. By the end of 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...
...outdoor activity in the U.S. (after swimming), up from fifth place in 1985. American Sports Data, a market-research firm in Hartsdale, N.Y., estimates that there are about 25 million serious walkers of all strides, compared with 13 million runners in 1983, the jogging peak. Actresses Cybill Shepherd and Shelley Hack walk. So do Bob Hope and Walter Matthau. To certify the trend, Jane Fonda will be out next month with two training cassettes -- for the Walkman, naturally...
