...Dozier case. On Dec. 22, only five days after Dozier had been abducted, Lombino phoned the Fat Man and then Armando Sportelli, chief of SISMI's foreign operations in Rome. The word: Dozier was being held somewhere inside the triangle formed by the cities of Verona, Padua and Bologna. The next day, after more phone conversations with associates in Italy, Lombino was able to tell SISMI that the American general was definitely in Padua. Lombino did not know the precise location, but suggested that his old client Restelli, then imprisoned in Milan's notorious San Vittore prison...
Professor Gianfranco Pasquino, of the University of Bologna, suggests an explanation for the trend: "To a very large extent the socialist parties in Southern Europe are new parties. The French from 1971, the Greeks from 1974 and the Spanish from 1976-77. As such, they are identified more with cultural freedom and social justice, with popular demands for improvements in education, in the environment." Pasquino believes too that the socialists in all three countries are perceived as more reliable defenders of jobs. "It is not so much that they have been able to claim they will create more jobs," says...
...outrageous, confounding. Do you actually mean to say that some maniac has been filling Tylenol capsules with cyanide? Not that the wretched inventiveness of modern terrorism and science fiction have placed such acts entirely beyond the imagination.

...show's host is "King" Kaiser (Joseph Bologna), a brash, somewhat arrogant comedian with an entourage of aggressively obsequious writers and producers. Any resemblance to Sid Caesar and Your Show of Shows is, of course, purely intentional, and in many other ways the film strives to capture the innocent heyday of live TV. My Favorite Year succeeds in this respect, but except for O'Toole's manic star turn, remains at heart a tepid movie...
...they simply don't triumph over the material. It's hard to pass judgement on Mark Linn-Baker; the timorous quality of his nice-Jewish-boy persona seems to have been written into the script, and there's little that he can do to overcome it. Joseph Bologna, Jessica Harper, Bill Macy, and Adolph Green are all fine character actors, but in this case, we've seen the characters too often before. Most of them are in the well-worn uptight-showbiz mold; the Yiddish momma schtick at Benjy's Brooklyn home is an excruciating parade of old cliches. Only...
