...betrothed merit close scrutiny. Unlike, say, Luci Johnson, who was a fairly girlish and unformed 19 when she married Pat Nugent, Tricia Nixon, at 25, is a young lady of high, imperious and sometimes mysterious definition. Whatever the lollipop image her Buster Brown hats and patent shoes may have given her, Tricia is a cool, self-possessed woman with a porcelain near beauty and a talent for conservative mots. Some detect in her a steely if youthful combination of the manner of Grace Kelly and the views, not so oft expressed, of Martha Mitchell. And, of course, a psychogenetic blend...
Precision and Balance. Chance's resemblance to Voltaire's Candide ("We must cultivate our garden") and even to Buster Keaton's deadpan clown is fairly obvious. Despite the implausibility of the plot, the precision and balance of Kosinski's laconic prose, and his ability to animate a character who actually has no character at all, make Being There much more than the heavyhanded satiric fairy tale it might appear to be.

But Bruins coach Tom Johnson announced the unbelievable after last night's game with the Canadiens: Bobby Orr and Dallas Smith must send their skate sizes to the Hawks' equipment manager before the Stanley Cup playoffs. In return, Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Dennis...
...begins with a clip from the 1939 serial Buck Rogers, showing Buster Crabbe happily engaged in space exploration in the 25th century. But the real 25th century, says THX 1138 director George Lucas, is a denatured anthill where populations lead lives of quiet respiration. Every bodily function is mechanically analyzed; sexual relations are forbidden; food consists of ampuls and dehydrated protein bars...
What Clay had, Frazier wanted. In the scramble for a share of Ali's vacated title, he defeated his old nemesis, Buster Mathis, to become the recognized champ in seven states. The rest of the country belonged to "World Boxing Heavyweight Champion" Jimmy Ellis. Nettled by his title of "partial champ," Joe took on Ellis last year and dropped him with two paralyzing left hooks in the fourth round; Jimmy's manager threw in the towel. Arms raised, Frazier cried as he leaped around the ring: "Free at last! Free at last...
