"There is not a single foreign soldier in Nicaragua," insisted Sergio Ramirez, a member of the country's three-man ruling junta. "How could we hide 2,000 Cuban soldiers in a country this size?"

Is the irony meant to come through only to those educated in French, or is it assumed that every viewer has the lyrics deep enough under his pop-cultured hide that they are aroused just by the melody? Then Faith must sing it again--now translated into English--while alone in the bathtub, choked up by pain which is merely cheapened by rhyme. These banal songs are not merely the underpinnings of the sensibilities of these characters, but, sadly, the only...
