According to the new legislation, any 18-year-old girl claiming religious scruples would be exempt "without further examination by any board." In the past year the Defense Ministry has already begun operating in the spirit of the proposed law. Result: a 9% rise in exemptions for draft-age women. A report by the Defense Ministry submitted to the Knesset this month predicted that 30% of the 25,283 women due to be drafted this year will claim religious exemptions if the unamended bill passes...
...early 40s (she refuses to divulge her age), Cannon's screen trademark is an odd but appealing mix of sensuality and wacky spontaneity. Says Paul Mazursky, who directed her in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice: "She has this strange sexuality, which has the slightest edge of being funky, and this humor." She is the exact opposite of a gently provocative Diane Keaton, much more like a latter-day Judy Holliday (but brassier). Cannon downright dares to be vulgar.

Now comes The Buddy Holly Story, a biopic about the pioneer rocker who died in a plane crash at age 22 in 1959. In many ways this film resembles the rest of the crop: it is rousing, if imperfect entertainment that treats its hero as a full-fledged saint. But in box office terms, The Buddy
...with the original. As an actor. Busey comes into his own this time around, after a career of character roles in little-seen films (Straight Time, The Last American Hero). Whether he is playing Holly as a hick in the big city or a lovesick husband or a teen-age idol, Busey always seems convincing. He brings a swagger to the musical numbers and an engaging buck-toothed charm to the script's dramatic moments. Maybe the real Holly was someone else entirely, but Busey is certainly the right man for this paradoxical film. He is at once sexy...
