...million cases of wine; a scant 68,000 were sold in the U.S., although that was a 21% increase over 1988 levels. A pity. Unlike the sweetish Rhines and Moselles of neighboring Germany, Alsace's crisp Pinot Blancs, spicy Gewurztraminers and luscious Rieslings are flowery in bouquet but normally bone-dry in taste, in short, ideal companions to such summertime staples as shellfish, grilled chicken and pasta salad. (Gewurztraminer has a peculiar affinity for Chinese and Indian dishes.) The hard-to-find 1985 vintage is a great one; so is 1988, now coming to market. Trimbach and Hugel are reliable...
...wackos and murderers aside, Ghost is a little like Caspar in that it doesn't have a mean bone in its body. This is a well-intentioned, often corny and misguided movie. If the hilarious mugshots of Oda Mae from her charlatan past don't make you laugh, the special effects will. Ghost is bad enough to be good, and sweet enough that you'll forgive its transgressions...

While most of her family's treasure trove of funds -- allegedly looted from the nation -- remains frozen pending the outcome of four civil suits in the U.S., Marcos nonetheless remains relatively free to wield influence. Were Marcos to come home, Aquino fears she would use her fortune and following to mount a political challenge to the democratic government, perhaps even run for President. That, say observers, may be just what it takes...
When the news of Poindexter's sentence ran through the capital, some of his former White House colleagues were in black tie at the President's Dinner, the Republican Party's grandest Washington fund raiser. "I felt sick," said one. "There was not a criminal bone in his body. He was doing what he thought his Commander in Chief wanted. He got a jail term for political incompetence. Since when is that a felony...
