...Honeymooners or the bite of All in the Family. And Barr, a veteran of comedy clubs, grins at too many of her own jokes. With its surefire time period (following ABC's hit Who's the Boss?), the show stands a good chance of success, but the days of whine and Roseanne could soon grow tiresome...
Daisy Miller, only shriller. That's how European filmmakers have often pictured the American woman. In Luc Besson's The Big Blue, Arquette has to whine, pout, plead, giggle, all to get the attention of an otherworldly deep- ( sea diver (Jean-Marc Barr). But he has eyes only for dolphins and, vagrantly, for his fiercest competitor (Jean Reno). Two men dive to the depths -- and, perhaps, the death -- while she stays behind and paints Barr's apartment. Arquette has always looked like the last wanton of Woodstock, taunting the zippered-up '80s with her lithe carnality. But here...

All too often the solitude of the Ozarks wilderness is shattered these days by the whine and rumble of powerful engines. The river's banks are littered with mountains of discarded beer cans, used Pampers and empty motor-oil cans. A steady stream of pickup trucks rolls through village streets hauling trailers loaded with all-terrain vehicles, heading for the river's edge. Locals call it "the Invasion...
Republicans may whine about the "gloom and doom" and the rampant inflation of the Carter years. Soaring inflation and interest rates during the Carter years had less to do with national policies than with an unfavorable world financial scene caused by the energy crisis. And the drop in oil prices during the Reagan years, likewise, should not be credited to the Administration...
