...companies give them what they want: Bach Brandenburgs without end, Beethoven symphonies without number. Occasionally, however, a darker side surfaces, and . something different is unearthed: arcana by a famous composer, perhaps, or a new piece by a living artist that seeks to reveal the skull beneath the skin.

...further example of Khan's activities came to light last year in Canada, during the trial of three Pakistani-born naturalized Canadians on charges that they had tried to circumvent local export controls.

The three Canadians made ten shipments to Pakistan...

Having hung around Hollywood and learned a few things, all three actors offer well-observed and rather sympathetic portrayals of these familiar types. Actor-Producer Grodin's script is anecdotally acute but a little unfocused, and it is not especially well served by William Asher's muzzy direction. Steve Martin...
