...largest communications deal in American history might never have come to pass last week if Bell Atlantic chairman Raymond Smith and Tele-Communications Inc. president and chief executive officer John Malone had not got stuck on a boat off the coast of Maine. The merger talks were going nowhere that August afternoon when the two men decided to head back to shore, only to find that the anchor of Malone's 70-ft. sailboat had snagged an underwater power line.

...best friend (Alan Ruck, who is lovely as a boy struggling for security) to abscond with the family Ferrari so they can tool about in style. They will talk their way into a chic restaurant, enliven an ethnic parade and, at every point, avoid the forces of propriety. Chief among these are Ferris' sister (Jennifer Grey), who just hates the way he gets away with everything, and the dean of students (Jeffrey Jones), who distills all the pettiness of spirit and smallness of mind in a teen's view of adult authority. Jones provides John Hughes with the comic mainspring...
