...Management Services Inc., a New York?based firm that financed more than two-dozen R-rated movies. "The Hitcher," one of its films for Home Box Office (which is owned by this magazine's parent company), was described by reviewers as having a "massacre about every 15 minutes" and "gizzard-slitting depravity." A Bush-campaign spokesman said the governor did not participate in Silver Screen's decision to back the film and wasn't aware of it either...
