...summit, Jimmy Carter last week scheduled a major address on energy policy, telling aides that he wanted a "bold new approach." Then, just 30 hours before he was supposed to go before the TV cameras, he called off the speech without a word of explanation and holed up at Camp David.

This leads to the movie's nadir, a training camp sequence in which we are asked to believe that a competent, liberated woman of our time would passively accept living quarters in an open dormitory populated entirely by the fighter's all-male staff.
