...when Henry Kissinger sought to arrange his now famous secret mission to Peking in 1971. That signal, however, was not their first clue that the U.S. was interested in improving relations with a Communist regime it had refused to recognize for more than two decades. Larry Wu-Tai Chin, 63, a retired CIA analyst on trial as a spy for China, last week testified that in 1970 he had passed to Peking a document containing a secret message from Richard Nixon to Congress outlining his intention to work toward rapprochement...
...Guilford and her subsequent initiation into womanhood. Even taking into account the self-imposed constraints of cinematic exposition, Jane's blossoming into adulthood occurs far too quickly; on her wedding night, we see her reading Plato in bed, demurely clad in a nightgown that laces up to her chin. The next evening, however, after her first tryst with Guilford, she gaily parades around in front of her husband and the servants dressed in nothing but her shift and bawdily sporting Guilford's great riding boots before she plunks herself into his lap for kiss and a cuddle...

...hour of this short film is filled with flashbacks from the first three Rocky incarnations, scenes of the Italian Stallion hauling a sled full of chopped wood up a 90-degree cliff in training, and finally the American boxer stopping hundreds of punishing sounding blows with his forehead and chin and upper cheekbones. Apparently, Rocky thinks that masochistic training strengthens the bones in the human head to the extent that a steamroller running over the prepared cranium will cause only a slight scratch above the left eye.
