Some Disney viewers have complained that the service is too "adult," that its programming is oriented not to children but to nostalgic older viewers for whom the shows are a kind of video déjà vu. Jimirro acknowledges that 20% of Disney subscribers do not have children under 13. But he prefers to see this as a sign that the service offers "something universal...
Readers who follow the work of Author Barry Hannah may feel a touch of déjà vu upon beginning his fifth book. The Tennis Handsome opens with two pieces from Airships (1978), Hannah's highly praised collection of short stories. The first, Return to Return, retells the gothic catastrophe of French Edward, a good-looking tennis pro who discovers his mother in bed with his supposedly homosexual coach, nearly drowns in the Mississippi River and is fished out with most of his mental capacities washed away. He lives on as an automaton who is still a terror...
West by Steven Berkoff. A Berkoff play (Greek, Metamorphosis, Hamlet) is simultaneously avant-garde and deja vu.

It would be better to cut your losses and obtain, as you did in Cuba, a guarantee that there will be no Soviet bases there to be used against...
...were saw something that had never appeared on U.S. screens before: a Soviet leader conducting a press conference in Moscow, live. It was not exactly American-style-the questions were mostly written, not shouted by reporters-but it was close enough to arouse feelings of déjà vu. The Kremlin apparently wanted to make the maximum publicity splash for its official reply to President Reagan's Euromissile proposals. So the Soviet foreign ministry began notifying reporters on Wednesday, hours after Reagan had stopped speaking, that Andrei Gromyko, the U.S.S.R.'s Foreign Minister, would meet with them...
