...gunfire, that people kill people. Brilliant. Other scenes are less direct. At a pointless dinner party, the pre-Madonna-esque Ford girl heroine (portrayed, through the eyelashes, by international Cover Girl Adjani), tells a roomful of squares exactly what she thinks of them. With her Bride of Frankenstein fright wig and a gutter-mouthed talent for the unprintable expletive, she makes a speech unparalleled in pure offensiveness. The audience is cued to laugh uproariously. But profanity-as-a-punchline went out with The Bad News Bears, and the audience remains untickled and stone-faced, blushing uncomfortably in a suddenly confining...
...then, a shadow of anxiety is seen to cross the broad, luminous face of American democracy. Was the Revolution a social mistake after all?

The rocker was also asked to cover her close-cropped coif with a long red wig. "It went with a fiery personality," explains Winkler. Right now Lennox is drying out her pipes in preparation for a new album and a worldwide tour that will begin next summer. By then, any emotional chords she strikes are sure to be voiced in a proper Scots burr...
...thought or idea!" The triumph of Bach was that he did just that. His imposing musical structures touch the heart directly; Bach was, after all, a musician, not a philosopher or theologian. The sad part is that, even now, so many refuse to believe it, and see only the wig instead...
