...dunks the family Porsche in Lake Michigan, turns his house into a brothel and still gets into Princeton. Sounds like the Reagan era in miniature. But there was wit in Paul Brickman's script and swank in his camera style. For Cruise, there was more. As soon as he tore into an air-guitar rendition of Bob Seger's Old Time Rock 'n' Roll, in his Oxford-cloth shirt, B.V.D.s and socks, pop magnetism burst out of its suburban shell, and a star was born...
...operation was not without serious complications. While the surgeons were removing part of Teresa's liver, they tore her spleen and decided they had to remove it. The loss of the spleen means she will be slightly more susceptible to infections, and may have to take antibiotics for the rest of her life. To gain access to the liver, the doctors also had to remove Teresa's gall bladder. As for the baby, she had to undergo a second operation to stop bleeding from her new liver.

The estimated 550 lbs. of explosives tore trees out by their roots, hurled the engine block of Moawad's armored Mercedes 50 yards, shattered windows a mile away and raised a cloud of brown smoke over the city. In all, 24 people, including nine civilians, were killed and 36 wounded. "The whole shop was a bomb," said...
