Ross Perot said he was going to be an unconventional candidate. But so far, his rehabilitated bid for the Presidency has been more like a stealth campaign. After keeping the nation on tenterhooks for more than a week about his intentions and then restarting his abandoned Presidential campaign on Thursday with much ballyhoo, the unpredictable Texas businessman has virtually dropped out of sight.

Inside 'Hero,' A 1930's Heart Vs. a 90's Brain
Date: 04 October 1992
By Caryn James
Caryn James
There is a moral to the movie "Hero," which Andy Garcia eventually blurts out. He plays John Bubber, a homeless man who takes credit for rescuing dozens of people from a plane crash. The rescue was, in fact, performed by a petty thief named Bernie LaPlante (Dustin Hoffman), going against every impulse in his misanthropic little body. But a television reporter, Gale Gayley (Geena Davis), believes that Bubber pulled her from the burning plane. She makes him a media star, showing how heroes can be made from telegenic looks and sound bites. If "Hero" had stopped there, it would have been a bitterly funny satire. But Bubber performs his own courageous act, which leads to the moral of his story. "I think we're all heroes if you catch us at the right moment," he tells the television cameras. What a soothing sentiment. How totally unconvincing, for there is a more realistic lesson in "Hero." Bernie tells his young son at the movie's end: you can't believe what you see on television.
