...their off-year forays abroad, American consultants are largely motivated by avarice, arrogance and adventure. Perhaps their most high-minded justification is the contention that teaching the effective use of TV allows democratic leaders to communicate with the voters and mobilize political support. But this brings to mind the old joke about the small-town attorney who was going broke until another lawyer showed up, and they both got rich suing each other. Similarly, one media adviser in a foreign country may be a boon for democracy, but bring in a rival and you create that lucrative state known...
MaryAnne Golon, TIME's assistant picture editor for special projects, was struck by the natural excitement the Stones seem to generate. "You can plan where people should stand, what they should wear and which kind of background to use," she notes, "but you can't plan them." She didn't need to.

...part, Living Colour could use a little of the Stones' legendary entree. Theirs has not been an easy road. They were a hot club band on the East Coast, "really quite well known," as Mick Jagger says. "But they couldn't get a record deal because they were black and they weren't playing funk.

"If the French had then marched into the Rhineland, we would have had to withdraw with our tails between our legs," Hitler later said. "A retreat on our part would have...
...Saturday Night Live comedian and gonzo movie star into a cautionary fable about celebrity in the fast lane -- and never mind that some powerful people in the movie business were not eager to see the picture made or released. Reprising Belushi's career without being able to use clips or skits from his most famous work should be challenge enough. But nooo! Wired insists on merging the complex flashback devices of two favorite old movies. So on one swerving narrative track, Woodward (J.T. Walsh), like the reporter in Citizen Kane, gets dirty dish from the star's friends...
