...boyishness, even after Corky has just slit someone's jugular. Hopkins' performance nearly salvages the movie, even though he is strongly hampered by the efforts of a bad dialect coach, who must think that Catskills residents talk like third-rate Brando imitators. Actually, Hopkins' accent is the most unpredictable aspect of Magic...
...gadfly has drawn blood. William Cray of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association accuses him of zealotry: "He tends to exploit every negative aspect of drug therapy to scare the consumer."

...graffito distressed the cathedral's Dean, the Very Rev. Edward Patey, a clergyman known for his social conscience, but he defended the project forthrightly. "It might be called wasted space, wasted heat, by some," he says today, "but there is an instinct that one aspect of worship of God is to be aware of our smallness in proportion to his majesty. The medieval builders felt this. To go to worship God is not just like going out to buy a packet of fish and chips." As for the cost, Dean Patey has no apologies: "Compared with what people spend...
