...whose best work (Smile, The Bad News Bears) is acutely observant of manners and morals on every rung of the American ladder. Here everything from the way members treat servants at a posh tennis club to direct-mail advertising receives a glancing satiric blow from his camera. Even the car chase in Fletch is witty and believable and something an adult can attend without flinching. As the adolescent revels of summer wear on, that alone could make it a movie to cherish...
...once again was in turmoil. In Beirut, Shi'ite militiamen battled with Palestinians for control of three Palestinian refugee camps on the southern edge of the city, two of them Sabra and Shatila, where the infamous 1982 massacre took place. In the Christian eastern sector of the capital, a car bomb of unexplained origin killed 55 people and wounded 176. In Cairo, in the meantime, the Egyptian government announced that it had narrowly averted the car bombing of a diplomatic mission, presumed to be the U.S. embassy.

No organization claimed responsibility for the blast, the worst in East Beirut since the one that killed President-elect Bashir Gemayel in September...
There was no mystery about who was responsible for the Kuwaiti bombing. As Sheik Jaber traveled in a motorcade along a waterfront road on the way to his office at the Sief palace, a small Japanese-make car drove head-on into the convoy. The vehicle exploded, killing the driver, two guards in the convoy's two lead cars and a passerby. The Emir, who was traveling farther back in the motorcade, escaped with minor cuts. In a telephone statement, Islamic Jihad, or Islamic Holy War, claimed responsibility for the attack, and once again demanded the release of 17 terrorists...
