...classic, it exhibits signs of the same intelligence and the same cinemagraphic beauty. Marlon Brando stars as an Englishman who inspires revolution in a Carribean Portuguese colony in order to open up the island to British trade. The film is hardly doctrinaire, but it does take a few clean and effective swipes at capitalist-based liberals. This isn't great movie, but it is a damned good one. Playing tonight and tomorrow at the Science Center at 7 and 9:30, admission...
...went on to implicate both himself and Mitchell: "I've committed perjury so many times now that I'm, uh, you know, I'm, uh, I've got probably a hundred years on perjury alone." Then he talked about his decision to "make a clean breast of things." He added: "Of course, he [Mitchell] will be upset with me because I obviously will implicate John Mitchell." Finally Higby extracted from Magruder exactly whom his testimony would implicate: Dean, Strachan and Mitchell-but not Haldeman and not the President...
...whose family founded the chemical company that has the tallest industrial smokestacks in Delaware, won his seat in Congress in 1970 by campaigning for stricter controls on industrial pollution.

By 1970 his assets had soared to as much as $1.5 billion. He promptly took an oceanic bath as the computer market went stale (in a single day the value of his stocks dropped $376 million), next scuttled tens...
...after just two years in his adopted city of San Diego, the Binghamton, N.Y.-born Walsh formed a chapter of Common Cause, the public-action lobby. Today he is California state chairman (60,000 members) and serves on the national governing board. A Yale law graduate, Walsh wants to clean up the U.S. political system. This June he made an impressive start, leading the successful fight for passage of California's Proposition 9, a tough political-reform act restricting campaign spending and lobbyists' activities and requiring strict reporting of contributions...
