Once a dashiki-clad radical, King, 55, recently adopted a sober tone and somber attire. Nevertheless, he let slip a few atavistic faux pas, such as saying that he preferred Fidel Castro to Ronald Reagan. More damaging in this heavily Catholic city, he implied, without offering evidence, that the late Humberto Cardinal Medeiros was antiSemitic...
...bourgeois ideas is inevitable." Sure enough, leggy beauties now glide along sleek runways in Peking modeling the latest Pierre Cardin fashions. Not far away, well-heeled tourists tuck into French cuisine at Cardin's elegant new Maxim's de Pékin. Even in rustic glades, jeans-clad teen-agers blast out punk rock from ubiquitous cassette players. Free enterprise has also brought in its wake less innocent forms of freedom.

He impresses Dorothy with his tacky style; he gives her a real two-carat topaz; he escorts her to her senior prom in a ruffled sky-blue tuxedo. Eric Roberts is a brilliantly spoiled and clutching...
Several minutes of the movie are merely stiffs of Dorothy scantily clad, with the whirring sound of camera shutters in the background. Hitcheock used sly tricks to make his audience feel like voyeurs: Fosse flatly hits you with the accusation that there is a little of Snider in all of us, that given a choice between a picture of Dorothy and the real thing, you'll take the snapshot, and make her into an object of your slavering fantasies, judging her only against Playboy's photo ideal of the perfectly formed "girl next door." Many tribal groups refuse to have...
