belville (Sharon Belville):
Basketball's Original Rules
1. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.
2. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands (never with
the fist).
3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot
on which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man who catches the ball
when running at a good speed if he tries to stop.
4. The ball must be held in or between the hands. The arms or body must not
be used for holding it.
5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping or striking in any way the
person of an opponent shall be allowed; the first infringement of this rule by
any player should count as a foul; the second shall disqualify him until the
next goal is made, or, if there was evidence to injure the person, for the
whole of the game, no substitute allowed.
6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of Rule 4, 5, and
such as described in Rule 6.
7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count as a goal for
the opponents (consecutive means without the opponents in the meantime making
a foul).

Jennifer Haines (Rebecca De Mornay) is a hard working Chicago lawyer who
has agreed to defend David Greenhill (Don Johnson), accused of throwing
his wife out of the window in a high-rise building. Greenhill claims
publicly that his wife committed suicide and then tried to frame him
with a suicide note, but that's not what he tells Haines. What really
happened?
Sat. Oct 30 Silence of the Lambs [R] 26-100 7 & 10
A young woman disappears, and her body is found weeks later, horribly
mutilated. It happens again. Then a Senator's daughter disappears. Will
she be the next victim? Can the imprisoned, psychotic Dr. Hannibal
Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) shed any light on the situation? Perhaps if a
pretty young woman asks him. FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster)
is pulled out of her classes and assigned to the case. Will she succeed?
Sun. Oct 31 The Amityville Horror [R] 10-250 7 & 10
James Brolin, Margot Kidder and Rod Steiger star in this classic

York. A cold, brooding trend setter, Amityville inspired a series of
similar films through the early '80's. Spectacular performance by Rod
Steiger.

therese (Therese):
Despair is the absolute extreme of self-love. it is reached when
a man deliberately turns his back on all help from anyone else
in order to taste the rotten luxury of knowing himself to be lost.
...But a man who is truly humble cannot despair, because in the humble
man there is no longer any such thing as self-pity.
- Thomas Merton
