...Split in Denver, by Bob's Famous in Washington, D.C., or by Gelato in San Francisco. Nonsense, says a newcomer to the discussion, which started as a modest watercooler filibuster and has quickly become an anarchic mob scene. If you believe such claims it is because-you poor, butter-fat-starved, crushed-strawberry-and fresh-peach-and Oreo-mint-deficient ignoramous-you have never laid tongue to a rich, chewy, almost dripping sugar-cone full of sinfully delightful ice cream made by the enchanted trolls of Robert's in Southampton...
Foremost among them is a sick economy, currently groaning under a $27 billion foreign debt and a projected drop of 15% in national income for 1981. Wages have risen 20% in the past year, but there are far less consumer goods to buy. Meat, butter, sugar and cereals have been rationed for months, and still the queues grow longer.

...film lurches from one battle scene to the next with little substance in between. Most of the problem can be attributed to Peter MacNicol's peanut butter-on-milquetoast portrayal of the would-be hero.

His attempt to stick to the issues at hand, though, is in the end unpersuasive, for there are too many questions that need answering first. Americans of conscience will always predicate support for the military on the belief that the nation's might will be used wisely, not immorally squandered. When...
Even if the White House succeeds in whittling down the price-support system, the Agriculture Department will still be stuck with the mountains of butter, cheese and dry milk that it already owns. Secretary of Agriculture John Block wants authority to unload some of the Government's butter on world markets at a competitive price before it turns rancid. But Secretary of State Alexander Haig worries lest any additional butter on the world market be bought up by the Soviet Union. Now that the Government has lifted its grain embargo to the U.S.S.R., Haig seems to be saying...
