Among the menaced: Stewardess Karen Black, who squawks through the pilot's radio to Airline Biggie-and her lover of six years-Charlton Heston, as he tries to effect a mid-air rescue; Medical Problem Linda Blair, who is supposed to have a kidney in need of a transplant but seems to suffer more acutely from an Ipana smile and a crinkly nose; and Singing Nun Helen Reddy, who croons a tune that goes "I'm a best friend to myself." To know who finally saves the day you have only to check who gets top billing...
...merits suppression by any means necessary. Working from this assumption, Shipler spends all his energies on comparatively slight points like the number of non-communists--innocent people--falsely described as communists--guilty people.

...history, data and errata, the momentous and the obscure. The 732 minutes-of the newspaper filler "on this day 200 years ago" variety -will be narrated, says the network, by "everyone from movie stars to Supreme Court Justices."

Later the studio will re-create the burning of the Hindenburg, with George C. Scott and a specially built 60-ft. demidirigible...
Following in the prop wash of Airport, the movie Airport 1975 promises to have even more stars aboard. In the cast are Myrna Loy, Gloria Swanson, Karen Black, Charlton Heston, Efrem Zimbalist Jr.-and Pop Star Helen Reddy (I Am Woman), who makes her movie debut as a singing nun. In one scene, Reddy is seated at Washington's Dulles Airport next to Nun Martha Scott, who points out Celebrity Gloria Swanson, surrounded by the press. "She must be an actress," says Reddy. "Or worse," replies Scott. This dialogue seemed unconvincing to the first actress who was approached...
