...chilling accounts by Kay and her two children, there are pages of police complaints. And there are the scars: Kay and several members of her family still bear jagged reminders of Jackie's nasty handiwork. A few weeks before Kay shot her ex-husband, he stabbed Kay, her sister Debbie and Debbie's boyfriend William Robinette with a butcher knife--a crime for which he was out on bond when he died...
Scene II: Cruella's office. On the wall is a large plaque, saying "To Cruella P. Joy, for Outstanding Productivity, 1988," and on her desk is a stuffed toddler--Maria's little sister, who was caught several years ago trying to eat the plastic contents of a Mattel refrigerator. Cruella cackles wildly at the raggedy mob. "Fools! Santa isn't here. He doesn't even know you exist--that's the beauty of subcontracting...
...chain of ownership has also been the subject of considerable dispute. Some specialists trace it directly back to the painter's sister-in-law. Tasset and others claim the first owner was the art dealer Amedee Schuffenecker.

Indeed, the Pope, who has always looked for innovative ways to spread the word, including travel, books and even records, was writing as early as 1989 about the opportunities offered by computer telecommunications to fulfill...
Unfortunately, to get the jokes you have to sit through the schmaltz. That means scene after scene of Barbra gazing into the mirror, wishing, just wishing that she had been born beautiful like her mother and sister. Scene after scene of Barbra staring off into the distance, pining for someone who will know what type of toothpaste she uses, or how she likes her salad, with bad jazz surging from the Dolby THX surround-sound system and half the people in the theater moaning like they just had bad Chinese. For those hopeless romantics with the huge hearts...
