...David Suchet), alternately amused and baffled by the bravado of Daulton (Sean Penn), a kid who has always had his way and cannot be intimidated by any old nuclear power. "O.K.," he barks when they cross him, "from now on I do my business with the Chinese!" Sporting a cad's mustache and Walter Denton's whiny voice, Penn is a funny, harrowing wonder of energy. No other young actor so cunningly combines the mannerist danger of the Brando-De Niro school with the articulate assurance of a stand-up comic. Hutton is just as fine in a role that...

The painter responds that if his work is any good, it is just as exacting-only his tools are different. If he is a cad he may call his work a higher art form...

To Buffalo Bill, all women are "bimbos" to be seduced, all men rivals to be traduced. If American viewers had not lost their innocence about unscrupulous TV characters, Bill would snatch it from them...
...ultimate victim of CAD/ CAM may be that venerated symbol of American industrial efficiency, the assembly line. In reality, the assembly line is often as not a rabbit warren of wasted effort and energy. CAD/CAM experts point out that at General Motors, for example, fully 65% of the company's shop-floor manufacturing effort can wind up going into the production of automobile spare parts and assemblies in batches of no more than 50 to 100 items at a time. With each such run, large sections of the production line of a plant often have to be shut down...
