...eyed naive Peggy Sawyer coming from the rural hinterlands to make her mark in the flashy world of big city show business. After two hours she has risen from a chorus girl to the star of the show, maybe even falling in love on the way. After hearing Marsh utter such gems as, "Sawyer, you're going out there a young stand-in, but you have to come back a star," you realize this is not going to be a thought-provoking night of theater...
...Metalio residents, Rivas and his crew make up one of the country's dreaded escuadrones de la muerte, or death squads, responsible for more than 200 killings during the past four years. The terror comes not just from the horrible ways in which people die, but from the utter randomness of who is killed.

Perhaps the most deplorable aspect of Coleman's action was his utter insensitivity to the fact that breaking this confidence helped to accentuate the climate of danger that already surrounded Reverend Jackson. Somehow Hirschorn and others consistently overlook this, while condemning the one alleged threat against Coleman's life, they remain silent about the more than one hundred death threats against Reverend Jackson (far greater than the number received by any other candidate), or the bombing of his headquarters in Anaheim, California by two whites. We, like Minister Farrakhan, feel that Coleman or anyone who would so carelessly enhance such...
