...flatly declare that the actions of the protestors were wrong was unfortunate, but he at least could see his way clear to voice some denunciation, while Mr. Crystal's refusal to accept even this is the very essence of the "I'm right, case closed" mentality that is the root of totalitarianism. As Harvard approaches its 350th anniversary, I feel that it is time that the members of the Harvard community unite against such attacks on the free exchange of ideas.

Bolivia, for example, earns $1 billion a year from cocaine, its largest export...

However, in the process of hunting monsters, Katt is pulled through the door and carried back to Vietnam where he discovers that a dead soldier buddy of his has been the root of all his residential difficulties. (I swear. This is for real.) All turns out well, amazingly enough, and the flick winds up with a Rebecca-style-house-burning ending...
