Though he dines at the Palm and wears London-tailored Tasmanian-wool suits (at $1,500 a pop, each is paid for with about three hours of his billed legal time), Cacheris' homelife has always been more prosaic. He and his wife Ethel--they have been married nearly 43 years--frequently revisit his roots on trips to Greece. His father Christos had only a sixth-grade education, and as a teenager Plato flipped burgers at his dad's restaurants. After a stint in the Marines, straight-arrow Cacheris worked as a Justice Department prosecutor helping Attorney General Robert Kennedy target...
...lyrical audacity. There aren't enough great songs like the current mega-hit "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" to overshadow the number of tunes in which the production-done mostly by the Flip Mode Squad-is generic, lagging behind Busta in all his revved up Tasmanian devil glory.

The books you covered in this article did little to expose the artistic talent that was part...
...also big; nearly everyone in this Act-O-Rama gets a screaming scene. The tone is set by Roth, the Brit of choice for those directors who think Gary Oldman just doesn't push it far enough. It's cartoon work, really (imagine Henery Hawk trying to be the Tasmanian Devil), but fun to watch. And Shakur, as the sensible guy, plays nicely off Roth. He is both Stretch's keeper and the film's conscience. "When gettin' high becomes a job," he muses, "what's the point...
