...skewers Arabs and Zionists, harpoons Cardinal Cooke and Billy Graham, lampoons the Jerry Lewis telethon: "Maybe some day science will find a cure for Multiple No-Talent." Sorel's style is best when it reveals the foibles of its subject graphically: Gloria Steinem as a knight in tarnished amour, Scoop Jackson as a sheriff with a beltful of missiles, Woody Allen as Satan.
