...outs came from years of scavenging fellow animators' magazines looking for the same orange slices and TV's in the same advertisements, which he made into luscious photographic trails of his career. His new movie, Impasse, repeats the methods of Frank Film but recounts the battle of an arrow and a point which enlists armies of Avery Labels in its cause. The movie's best moment finds the arrow, like the audience, burrowing through advancing rows of color. You think I'm kidding about the labels. Watch the credits--always watch the credits...
...season when the industry considers a 60-day inventory of unsold cars to be normal, Chrysler has an 81-day supply; for some of its Japanese imports, including the Plymouth Sapporo and Arrow models, the sales backlog exceeds 150 days. For lack of models, the company has been virtually shut out of the full-size car market, which now constitutes 29% of industry sales. And when the company introduced its new full-size 1979 Chrysler New Yorker and Dodge St. Regis models with a vigorous publicity blitz in early October, it had almost no cars to sell because of production...

Yet Wilkinson had no trouble joining in the team's revelry. He adroitly managed to get through the initiation...
...follies that his provincial characters are prey to; yet he shared their pain. Turgenev fired off comic volleys that riddle his provincial characters' vanity and pretension; but when his people bleed, he casts a cold and worldly eye upon the scene. In Chekhov, longing is the arrow of love, usually un requited; in Turgenev, idle fantasy is the fuse of sex, equally unrequited. Boredom is a palpable force in Chekhov, more of an indifferent landscape in Turgenev...
