...breakers like Clark Clifford and Ted Sorensen, and mere doorkeepers like Kenneth O'Donnell and Marvin Watson. Even in this semi-exalted position, however, hubris remains a problem for the pair: they have gained so much power so soon. It could turn the heads of people twice their age. Another problem is that in the process of growing up politically at the White House, Jordan and Powell are bound to make mistakes-and at a high level...
...hostages, ranging in age from six to twelve years, were eventually allowed hot food, bedding, blankets and medicine by their captors. They played games, watched television, read and occasionally cried in fright. The Moluccans released the first pupils to fall sick and then, as the epidemic spread, telephoned Dutch authorities over a special line: "All the children will be freed. You may arrange the necessary transportation." After examining the released youngsters, Dutch doctors feared that some may have contracted meningitis. One ailing teacher was also released; the other four remained captive, though they were reportedly ill as well...

"We're still about telling the truth," the Mainline's editor insists at the beginning of the film. By this point, however, nobody seems...
...imperial forces. The toll of casualties among the rebels keeps adding up until one lone plane remains; naturally, it is manned by Luke Skywalker (Hamill), the naive twenty-year-old enraptured by Princess Leia's beauty who seeks to avenge the death of his father during the space age totalitarians overthrow of the republic. Luke is an irresistible figure, the country bumpkin with just the right touch of idealism and star-struck awe to endear him to any audience. He saves the day of course, hitting the heavily protected weak link in the planet-fortress of the Empire that reduces...
