...several strong performances add to the general insanity and make the difference between a mildly amusing comedy and a gut-wrenching howler. Donald Sutherland makes one of his infrequent appearances, putting just the right gleam of depraved obsession into his all-too-brief characterization of the dope-smoking, corduroy-clad English professor. The scene in which he and three students conspiratorially share a joint in his darkened cottage is one of the most effective in the film, thanks largely to Sutherland's knowing grins and his wolfish, slightly stoned expression. Karen Allen charms as Katy, the girlfriend...
...rear view of a G-stringed nymph was bad enough. The photo of a smiling black woman swathed in chains was even worse. But the final straw was the June 8 poster of a scantily clad prostitute proffering the wares of her trade. When that picture ran on the cover of Stern, West Germany's largest illustrated weekly (close to 2 million in circulation), ten feminists demanded a court order barring the magazine from depicting women as "mere sex objects." Insulting one woman, they charged, is insulting them...
...very few times that lacocca came close to having egg on his face. After 32 years with Ford, the plain-spoken son of an Italian immigrant was a Horatio Alger-hero on wheels, a paradigm of upward automobility.

Clad in battle fatigues and accompanied by an honor guard and a brass band, he appeared again and again at Lubumbashi airport at the head of a cavalcade of Jeeps and Mercedes sedans. He greeted Zambia's visiting President Kenneth Kaunda, and China's Foreign Minister Huang Hua, who had flown to Shaba to emphasize Peking's opposition to Soviet-Cuban influence in Africa. On his visit to Peking, President Carter's National...
...just look at his eyes. Let's take him home," coos a blonde woman. Clad in an Antartex lambskin jacket draped over the L.L. Bean genuine hand-knit imported Icelandic fleece sweater, she is cootchy-cooing into the face of a freshly shorn Shropshire ewe. "But, honey," groans her husband, waving a brand-new shepherd's crook in the direction of the sheep's hindquarters...
