...love with Huey (John Pankow). Huey loves Teresa but is in love with his ex-wife Janice (Jayne Haynes). Janice hates Huey and just about everybody else. Nor is the world crazy about her. Teresa, who thinks Janice "should live on a black mountain and drink out of a skull," tells Huey, "You're spoiled by women. You think you got woman-love coming to you out of your destiny." But who, in a Shanley comic opera, can ignore la forza del destino? Huey has to get Janice back...
Bram Stoker's novel The Lair of the White Worm is nothing like a great book, but its outline offers Russell plenty of fodder for his fantasies. An archaeologist unearths the skull of a giant reptile and thus unleashes a pestilence on England's Peak district, courtesy of Lady Sylvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe). In her worship of a humongous subterranean worm, this venomous vamp sprouts fangs, spits at crucifixes, sups on the locals and searches for a sacrificial virgin -- no mean feat, since Russell has set his story in the 1980s...

"As to the insult to the United States," he said, getting in the last word, "I don't appreciate...
George Bush followed lockstep in his father's path: prep school, Yale, stalwart of the baseball team, Skull and Bones. Dukakis, on the other hand, broke with the expected pattern, deciding against Harvard in favor of Swarthmore, a small Quaker college near Philadelphia. A D in physics dissuaded him from studying medicine. Instead, he threw himself into politics, working for the 1951 election of Philadelphia reformist Mayor Joe Clark, his first taste of squeaky-clean government. Dukakis still did not have much of a social life -- no one remembers a steady girlfriend -- and he did not join any fraternities because...
