...wine is officially considered contraband and is now locked up under bond. At week's end, plans were being made to ship it to the officers' club at Wichita's McConnell Air Force Base. Since that institution is not subject to state liquor laws, the wine could legally be consumed there, perhaps at a party on the base runway. The catch is that guests would have to drive there from the art exhibit, which is set up 20 miles away...
There is at least one sign that Holocaust may do better than NBC executives expect. Earlier this month, Bantam brought out Green's paperback novelization of his shooting script, expecting the book to take off after the show went on the air. Much to the publisher's surprise, the novel hit a nerve with the public from the moment it appeared on the racks. Holocaust has already gone through eight printings (1.25 million copies) and is climbing on best seller lists. Not even Alex Haley's Roots had so wide a circulation before the airing...
...which can add anywhere from 15% to 40% to the construction and operating costs of a coal-fired plant. Yet no matter how much money is spent, a study by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare warns, burning coal on the scale that Carter contemplates will make the air dirtier.

Reacting to it, Washington is virtually certain to require all coal-burning plants, even those that burn low-sulfur Western coal...
...youngsters' characters are hardly sketched in at all. A possible romance be tween Garfield and the team's nurse-chaperone (Kathleen Lloyd) is also left hanging vaguely in air.

Even the racing scenes are suspenselessly developed to resemble all the other skateboarding sequences; no where is there any pace, style or excitement. One can only hope that this bad, visibly cheap film will not entirely preempt further explorations of a curious little world. There is still a good movie in it somewhere...
Doubtless this decision had something to do with the new film's financing, which is British, but it is a disastrous one. There was an enthusiastic, obsessional air about the crookedness Marlowe used to encounter in L. A. The weirdos he kept turning up in his cases sensed that the American dream had newly relocated there, and everyone was feverishly intent on grabbing his share-getting in on the ground floor, as it were. Good, gray London hasn't been like that since Will Shakespeare's day-or anyway, Charles Dickens'-and the correlation between landscape...
