Residents of Detroit have added to their city's reputation as a rough place. So far this year three burglars have been shot and killed by angry homeowners. Marie Morrison, 78, shot a 16-year-old youth who tried to force his way into her house. Detroit Mayor Coleman Young praised her action, declaring, "Every person has a right and an obligation to defend their own home." Daniel Kindred, 41, killed Ronnie Trapp, 19, when he saw Trapp climbing out of a basement window of the Kindred house. Last week Wayne County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Elliott Hall decided...
...capture the elusive youth market, Orion provided MTV with an Amadeus video; it consists of excerpts from the movie intercut with clips of 27 rock stars: Mozart meets Michael Jackson. In addition to the music video, the sound-track album is No. 1 on Billboard magazine's classical-albums list; it even has a place on the pop charts...
...schoolboy. You made noises like a babi when he looks in the ground for foods." Every misstep of the way, O'Hanlon employs a dry, self-deprecating style that cannot disguise the team's gifts for fresh and arresting description.

...extended family of hard-core bikers emerges as a candidate for a humanitarian of the year award by the picture's end. Must we really believe that these Hell's Angels are so sympathetic and intelligent that they could displace Doug Flutie as the reigning icon of America's youth? In the midst of this three-ring circus of bikers, drug dealers and juvenile delinquents-come-lately, Rocky sticks out like a biker in a tuxedo--or a T.V. movie director spraying creative graffiti on the silver screen. We mourn for him not only because he is trapped inside...
...Iacocca's salesmanship--his hucksterism, even--accounted for much of his personal success in the mid-'60s, when carmakers were discovering the youth market. For snazziness and corporate profligacy, Detroit has not equaled itself since. The introduction of a sporty new sedan, orchestrated by Iacocca, typified the wonderful wantonness. In 1966 he sailed dozens of Lincoln-Mercury dealers to the Virgin Islands, where after a meal on a beach at sunset, an amphibious landing craft thrashed ashore. Out onto the sand popped a brand-new white Cougar driven by Singer Vic Damone, who proceeded to croon...
