...Jackson. Cuomo's credo is defiantly traditional and defiantly conventional. He states in the regal third-person: "...HE WILL [govern] ON THE BASIS OF TRADITIONAL DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES, WHICH HE HAS CONVERTED INTO SPECIFIC IDEAS THAT ARE TRADITIONAL AND DEMOCRATIC." Cuomo's vision shines brightly because it is so forthright--government can and should help those who can't help themselves--and so innocent, unsullied by the ravages wrought by deficit spending and the gimmicky neo-liberalism developed by egg-heads in response to President Reagan.

The council's communal decisions could yet become more defiant toward the regime than Glemp would like. -By Spencer Davidson. Reported by John...
...opening scenes in which a real live bear rides a motorcycle in circles round a high brow garden party, despite the beautiful surrealistic cinematography in which the New England landscapes are made to look like Maxfield Parrish illustrations, despite some truly good performances (Foster is one of the more forthright and appealing young actresses around) the movie falls as flat as stale champagne...
