...purple spots, always accompanied by his loyal but absent-minded Scare Assistant, Mike Wakowski (Billy Crystal), who resembles a one-eyed green pea. Both work for Monsters, Incorporated—an energy plant in the well-run township of Monstropolis, managed by a certain Henry J. Waternoose (James Coburn), who scuttles around on his many legs lamenting the energy crisis. Monstropolis, it turns out, runs on children’s screams—and children are harder to scare than ever. Sulley’s scheming rival at the scream machine factory is the lizard-like Randall Boggs (appropriately voiced...

Schwartz thinks it is inevitable that the drug will be prescribed for women who are more than seven weeks pregnant, that there will be a lack of patient compliance...
...railed that "do-it-yourself-abortion has no place in civilized society." Others stuck to simpler, more familiar catch-phrases, with Rep. Christopher Smith (R-N.J.) calling RU-486 "baby poison" and Rep. Tom Coburn (R-Okh.) claiming that the FDA's decision was making available "a drug intended to kill people...
