Gore too will probably join the fray. He predicts a "long, hard fight," and he proved in 1988 that he can give as good as he gets. In fact, it was Mr. Straight himself who first struck at the Massachusetts prison-furlough program, which the Republicans then spun into the infamous Willie Horton commercials. And now that the people who brought us Willie Horton are back with a new anti-Clinton ad campaign, this cycle's candidate is signaling clearly that he won't pull a Dukakis and roll over without a fight.

...vast: Continent-wide. Set on a German train rumbling through the rubble of World War II -- but suggesting the recent chaos of post-communist Europe -- Zentropa plays like a hallucinogenic remake of The Third Man. A naive American, Leo (Jean-Marc Barr), walks into a web of political duplicity spun by a desperate provocateuse (Barbara Sukowa), a cynical Allied officer (Eddie Constantine) and lots of supporting sharks and werewolves. And where is Harry Lime, the charming, murderous third man? Everywhere. Everyone has something to prove or hide -- everyone but Leo. Which makes him, in the movie's seen...
