...swing into action. The routine, already practiced a hundred times since sunup, is simple, though a trifle ghastly. Two burly men lift the dead whitetail deer out of the back of the truck and drop it on the bloody plywood platform of a large scale. Carlson's blond son Craig, 9, steps in, weighs the deer, calling out its weight in a clear, childish voice to three women sitting like the three Fates at a table behind the scale. As the hunter approaches the table to fill out a 15-item deer killer's form, an assistant clips...
...against him. Instead, Castro has received an appointment as U.S. ambassador to Argentina, providing welcome respite from the state's temporary political heat. U.S. District Judge Walter E. Craig, exposed by the IRE team for mysteriously reversing a jury's murder conspiracy conviction of reputed mobster Joe Bonanno's son amid rumors of influence-peddling by the Bonanno family, has received no disciplinary action of any kind.

After the 3½-hour concert, the Andalusian-born Segovia, 85, signed autographs with the help of his son Carlos Andrés, 8. Then, accompanied by his third wife Emilia, 38, Segovia flung a Spanish cape around his shoulders and bid the crowd...
...after the first half-hour the movie documentary detail thins out, and the film gets mired in a conventional drama of generational conflict. Sterling Hayden, as the aging king (of New York and eastern Pennsylvania), wishes to pass over his violent and ne'er-do-well son (Judd Hirsch) and grant his title to his grandson Dave (Eric Roberts). This young man is more interested in joining the American mainstream than he is in defending the traditional way of life, though he hates his father, if anything, more than his grandfather does. When his father attempts to sell Dave...
