...movie that people will be arguing about for as long as there are movies. Bernardo Bertolucci and Marlon Brando have altered the face of an art form." Well. Pauline Kael started it all with these words, and it was inevitable that parody would flourish to a point where Buchwald could talk of a dumb movie about the Parisian housing shortage and two apartment-hunters who find a rundown flat and spend a lot of time rolling around trying to measure it for a carpet. But it's not typical for anyone to skip joyously unaffected out of the theater after...
Less successful is the style section, of which Bradlee is quite proud. Actually, it is a somewhat erratic blend of the good, bad and incongruous. Columnists Nicholas von Hoffman and Art Buchwald are mixed with meandering reviews of the arts-plus Ann Landers. The Post has some trouble serving its fragmented local area; it is not only the sole morning daily in the District of Columbia, its suburban circulation makes it the largest morning paper in Maryland and the largest paper-period-in Virginia.

A long climactic scene in an observatory supposedly located on the moon has Hochman chortling with an uncomfortable Art Buchwald about women's domination. She was apparently not too serious about any of this; unfortunately, she is not very funny, either. Her narration does not help. Hochman may be a poet, but her writing here ("In this secret room of mirrors, are we spying on who we are?") offers heavy...
...Indeed, Buchwald, who is more or less the presiding elder, claims that before long it will be just like Harvard. A father will have to enroll his son at birth to be accepted at Sans Souci...
