...seventh of twelve children born to a working-class family in gritty Bayonne, N.J. An orphan at 17, he began as a $48-a-week laborer. Now, he is the principal stockholder of the $50 million-a-year Schiavone Construction Co. in Secaucus, a "realization of the American dream," he says proudly. But Ronald Reagan's choice of Raymond James Donovan, 50, to be Secretary of Labor probably owes less to his business acumen than to his accomplishments as a political fund raiser. By Donovan's own account, he raised more than $600,000 for Reagan...
...their favorite series are Rich Man, Poor Man and Washington Behind Closed Doors, with Polish voiceovers. Krzysztof, who has never traveled outside Poland, says: "If I had a choice of vacations I'd go to the U.S., but it's so expensive I don't even dream about it." Though the Ursus factory provides vacation centers for its workers along the Baltic Sea or in Poland's lake district, the Karasiewiczes prefer to spend their 3½ weeks of vacation tending a 3,200-sq.-ft. plot of land, ten minutes away from their apartment, which...

It's an anthology and apotheosis of American pop movies: Frankenstein, Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Nutty Professor, 2001, Alien, Love Story. It opens at fever pitch and then starts soaring-into genetic fantasy, into a precognitive dream of delirium and delight. Madness is its subject and substance, style and spirit. The film changes tone, even form, with its hero's every new mood and mutation. It expands and contracts with his mind until both almost crack. It keeps threatening to go bonkers, then makes good...
Still, this is a love story? Yes: of man as the eternally curious child and woman as the maternal source and resource. It is also, implicitly, the story of Jesus and Mary. Eddie is consumed by the dream of transcendence, of return to the modern godhead of the self. He is off on a perilous trip down through the memory of the race, and his only connection to reality is the umbilical cord of his need and, finally, his love for Emily. He often curls naked into her side as if wounded, seeking succor, reliving the Pieta. Again and again...
