...away with murder," says the woman who allowed as how Nancy Reagan should have simply replaced the White House china a piece at a time instead of buying a whole new set, and who suggested that her husband strip down to disprove rumors that he was wounded during a tryst. As she prepares for her new post, she says, "I'm now slightly more careful about what I say." (Pause) "Slightly...
Victims who go to the police often find them insensitive or even hostile. When Raleigh, N.C., Bar Owner Warren Kilby was stabbed during a tryst with another man in 1986, police warned him that if he insisted on pressing charges, he could go to prison for admitting that he had committed sodomy. In January, University of Illinois Music Professor Michael Cameron was kicked and beaten on a Chicago street by a man who repeatedly asked him if he was "straight." When Cameron tried to report the incident to two policemen, the officers drove away...

Even now, as Hart gleefully brandishes his wallet containing $60 as his entire campaign treasury, he hopes to qualify for $1 million in federal matching funds, based on the contributions he raised before he initially...
Dating, or even tiptoeing outside the cathedral of wedlock for a weekend tryst, isn't supposed to be deadly either. But drama is often the imagination of disaster, and horror is the escalation of primal anxieties (pregnancy, puberty, even dentistry) into touchstone fantasies (Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, Marathon Man). Says Fatal Attraction's screenwriter James Dearden: "I wanted to take every situation to the worst-possible-case scenario and see what happened...
