Whenever a dull moment threatens, Hill rummages around in Michener's bottomless bag of epic tricks and comes up with windstorms, conflagrations, eruptions, street fights, breech births, shark attacks, luaus, lava-lavas and assorted shouts and muumuus-not to mention a large number of young wahines who appear in a state of nature and fill the giant screen with impressive outcroppings of what Hawaiians call papaia. What's more, the principals play with aplomb. Julie Andrews brings both sensuality and sensibility to a role that might easily have wallowed in sweetness and light. And Von Sydow is superb...

With a seemingly bottomless campaign treasury-estimated as high as $2,000,000-Shapp saturated the air waves with more than 7,000 radio spots, 34 half-hour TV shows in prime time, and so many TV shorts that aides lost count. Mailboxes were filled with provocative, well-prepared pamphlets setting out Shapp's views on expanding the state's economy and improving education: "I've been accused of buying the election," the candidate acknowledged at one point. "I'm not buying. I'm selling myself. It does cost money...
