Leakey, the chairman of FROM, discussed several areas for investigation, including the point at which man and ape diverged in the evolutionary sequence, the causes of the brain enlargement of man and his most recent ancestors, and the origins of primitive art. He also argued that it was the move to a bipedal stance--not the development of tool-making or the enlargement of the brain--that spurred man's evolution...

What if none of this matters? That is the troubling question Stone raises throughout the novel. He vividly portrays high adventure, but then makes it look of no more account than what the cynical Marty Nolan calls "a catalogue of ape behavior." He sets his characters the task of finding meaning for their lives, then sees to it that they will fail. "There's always a place for God," Holliwell asserts. "There is some question as to whether He's in it." This issue is not normally the stuff of espionage. Those readers who like their suspense neat...

Unlike "10," which asked only that Bo slink around a beach and look pretty--of which she is eminently capable--Tarzan demands that she exhibit a wide range of emotions, and that's where she fails miserably. When she is supposed to be frightened, she squeals: when she should laugh...

...STANDS, Tarzan, the Ape Man is a misleading title for the movie. Tarzan has very little to do with anything. Something like Bo Derek Takes Off Her Shirt in Exotic Places would be much more appropriate. She takes off her shirt to swim in the Great Inland Sea, she takes off her shirt to swim with Tarzan, she takes off her shirt to get painted chalk-white by restless natives. And rumor has it that she even took off her shirt to wrestle with an alligator, but, alas, that scene was left on the cutting room floor by censors...
