...season is traditionally a time for taking stock, for judging and assessing. This year, although there is widespread anxiety about the current inflation, and about the ability of the Carter Administration to control it, the nation is undeniably prospering. This year's unemployment rate is the lowest since 1974, and 95.2 million people are at work, more than ever before. The output of the nation's industries last month was a healthy 6.8% higher than a year ago. And the crops are in, a record, silo-bursting harvest -an estimated 6.8 billion bu. of corn, 8% more than...

Fats' face, like his personality, becomes a grotesque parody of Corky...
...because some dreams are better left alone lest they shatter at a touch and lose their magic in becoming real. This movie does just that to Tolkien. But that won't stop anyone from turning out the second half of Bakshi's tour de force. Once the Ring took control of its possessor, nothing could stop him from wanting more and more, even if the ultimate result was for the worst. Hollywood has the Ring now, and the business of perversion proceeds as Tolkien might have predicted. "...In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows...
