...types could take over the movement. In California there is little question that skinheads have ties with established racist groups. Tom Metzger, a former Klan leader who now heads the White Aryan Resistance, tries to recruit among skinheads. His son John Metzger teaches skinheads how to organize. Says the younger Metzger: "It's not a fad. It's a movement and a reaction against what's going on." Maybe. But more than anything else, the skinheads are a frightening, pathetic reminder that the U.S. has not solved its racial problems -- and that it is time the subject once more take...
...traffic situation is equally strange. On any given day, you might see daredevil stunt drivers wearing hats and smoking cigars gunning their Cadillac Eldorados to speeds of 35 M.P.H. and beyond.

Like any sham evangelist, he can entertain without convincing. And even in this ragged turn, a viewer can do with Murphy's comedy what Murphy complains most women want to do with his immense fortune: take half...
...remarkable that Gorbachev managed not only to escape blame but to advance his career amid the farming fiasco. Only a year after returning to Moscow, he became a candidate member of the Politburo. The following year, at 49, he was made a full member. Gorbachev was eight years younger than the next youngest Politburo member and 21 years younger than the average age of his colleagues...
