Some conservatives, too, have their doubts about Connally's concept of the roles of Government and business. They view him as a corporate statist with proclivities toward Big Government, one who would enhance federal power along with business interests. When Connally met with a group of new-right leaders in a converted garage near the Capitol this summer, they grilled him on this point and also about his support of the Equal Rights Amendment and his refusal to support an antiabortion amendment. Connally answered the questions as bluntly as they were delivered, defending his positions...

We know in great detail how the rounding up and the killing were done...
Which is odd, since Langella looks as if he's been preening before one for the last 20 years. For Langella, Dracula is a haunted lover, a slave to his lust. He brings off the concept, while Richter and Badham whip up blood squalls around him. But the performance is a fraction of what it could have been. Maybe Langella is too good an actor to be frittered away on the screen. I don't mean that as an insult to films, but where else can an actor with no technical resources--a Jack Nicholson (good...
