...Braidwood as Mrs. Crowe and Paul Harding as the Bishop of Caerleon were splendid, though Donald Ewer as Mr. Crowe's accomplice in blackmail burlesqued the role of Jeremiah Sant with a thick Irish accent. Liza Cole, Julie Andrews' mother in Hawaii, played the warm-hearted Agnes with unabashed charm. Her reward after the wildly sentimental scene with Hadrian in the Papal chambers was a well-deserved round of applause...
...only defensively, in response to white terrorism against them. He lauds their contribution to black pride. With the same ease, Jackson can endorse moderates; he praises Roy Wilkins for fighting racial injustice "long before I was born."

Pat held four stand-up press conferences, sharing the microphones with students active in volunteer programs and responding to questions with the proper combination of starch and good humor; Jackie and Lady Bird did not do that either...
...female pudenda retain a primal humor. But anyone who has read or watched the real Henry Miller knows that the author possesses a sly, ribald wit that is entirely absent from Rip Torn's somnambulistic impersonation. Leeching meals and wives from the bourgeois, Miller-Torn provides neither charm nor intelligence; it is impossible to believe that he would be invited out for a drink, much less in for the night. Moreover, though his dialogue is fixed in the '20s, his scenes are mired in the '60s. The female of the species have a few humorous lines...
