In addition, the Dionysean ambience of the place, if sensitively explored, would be an interesting subject for folks who think that the Cape of the Hamptons are the cat's pajamas. Summer Lovers, however, is nothing more than a sloppily arranged series of brief glimpses of an island paradise, seen through a camera constantly swooping for 180-degree panoramas and zooming from close-ups of sweat-filled navels to post card spots of the entire rocky coast...

...underscore that message, NASA barely let the dust settle from Columbia's landing before dispatching its second ship, Challenger, to Cape Canaveral. Hitchhiking atop a specially adapted Boeing 747, the new or biter passed low over the reviewing stand at California's Edwards Air Force Base while a military band played God Bless America. Reagan likened the conclusion of the shuttle test program to the driving of the golden spike that marked the completion of the first transcontinental railroad...
