Undoubtedly the backing of so many different parties bolstered KPFA's staff in their fight with the Pacifica brass. The stunning diversity gave lie to Pacifica chair Mary Francis Berry's claim that KPFA's only listeners were "white males over 50." Smelling votes, the state Legislature even launched an audit of the foundation's tactics...

UPI staple Helen Thomas, the senior White House correspondent, nearly 80 years old herself, gets up to be at the White House at 5:30 in the morning, to write stories no one will read...
...style sex comedy. Writer Adam Herz and the hot producer-director team of Chris and Paul Weitz occasionally hint that a teenager's most poignant groping is for his elusive identity. But don't expect this summer movie to have the huffing charm of Austin Powers or the tuneful brass of South Park.
