...couple Sam Wheat (Patrick Swayze) and Molly Jensen (Demi Moore) moving into one of those ridiculously large New York apartments that only people in movies can afford. They're happy, after their fashion--late at night, when Molly can't sleep, she shapes clay phallic symbols on her pottery wheel and Sam wakes up and helps her. Despite the fact his hands are caked with clay, he rubs her thighs. She gets all hot and bothered, and they dance to a great oldie playing on their living room jukebox. Then they kiss, slow and long, before falling on the couch...
...nearly a half-century, East German workers have held lifetime jobs in companies that had only to meet production goals, without much concern for costs, quality or innovation. The madness in this method is symbolized by the Trabant, the plastic-enclosed, four-wheel motorcycle posing as a small car. Until last November, customers waited up to 15 years for the privilege of buying one for then 22,000 ostmarks, or about $4,000; currently, the Trabant cannot be sold at any price...

While the Mazda has rear-wheel drive and two seats, the Mercury offers front-wheel drive and a small backseat. Ford has priced the Capri slightly below its rival: $12,588 for the standard model and $15,522 for a turbocharged version, which Mazda does not offer...
...meeting, most of them in dark tailored suits and some suspected of sporting golf-course tans. Big black limousines waited with motors purring. Five Lincolns, two Chryslers, an estimated $200,000 on the rubber, not including drivers -- all courtesy of the beleaguered budget. Massachusetts' Silvio Conte settled behind the wheel of his own flame red Pontiac GTO convertible, top down, and roared back up Pennsylvania Avenue. The logo on the back fender read THE JUDGE. Message there. These arguments over the people's money are destined to be long and bitter, but there is every evidence that no matter which...
