...story about integration, Waters smartly miscegenated two irreconcilable film genres: the message movie and the teen flick, or Sam Arkoff meets Stanley Kramer. To update the genre to the 80s, it was John Waters doing John Hughes, but with his own road map. No Molly Ringwald needed; Ricki Lake, in her motion picture debut as Tracy, is the dream image of every girl who has ever craved that eighth Twinkie. No teen realism here, just a romp through the pastel homes and matching mother-daughter outfits of a more naive era. No anxious parental conflict, at least when Tracy...
...currency bonds to five levels below investment grade, making it even more difficult for the government to borrow money and putting additional pressure on Brazil's foreign currency reserves.

Now that the American and European stock bubbles have popped, Western economies are feeling similar pressures. August inflation in the U.S. was only 1.8% and in Germany only 1%, both dangerously low. Yet central banks continue to base their policies on avoiding high inflation. They...
...Maloney hoped to gain from concerns about corporate greed when local hardware company Stanley Works considered reincorporating in Bermuda to reduce taxes. He sponsored a bill to end the practice. Johnson countered with one that would put a three-year moratorium on such moves. Johnson's g.o.p. colleagues on the Ways and Means Committee then tried to block Maloney from testifying for his bill...
