...Belushi as Danny's beerguzzling good-ole-boy buddy and some great Ferris Buelleresque Chicago locations is certainly sufficient to safeguard the film's mainstream appeal. But if the only image that remains after the film is that of Moore and Lowe doing the deed everywhere from in the shower to on the carpet in front of Danny's double headphone stereo system to in a bean bag chair, you missed Mamet's point about relationships...

The explosion was the second successive Titan 34D failure within a year, after nine perfect flights. NASA bravely tried another launch, and on May 3 was dismayed when its long-reliable Delta rocket, carrying a hurricane-spotting satellite, had to be detonated over Cape Canaveral after its main engine shut down prematurely...

Meteors, which are asteroids or cometary debris that has entered the atmosphere, continually shower the earth. Most of them are small and either break up or are burned to ash by frictional heat generated by their plunge through the atmosphere. But, explains Shoemaker, the incineration of larger asteroids is far more violent. An asteroid 80 ft. across, striking the atmosphere at 50,000 m.p.h., compresses the air in its path so much that in effect the asteroid is stopped dead in its tracks, converting kinetic energy almost instantaneously into heat, light and a powerful shock wave. That causes a tremendous...
