...very simple story, though told with needless complexity. Yet it does have a certain charm. Romy Schneider is extraordinarily attractive as the woman, and Victor Lanoux (of Cousin, Cousine) offers both stalwart charm and ideological reticence as the revolutionary. We are allowed to gather that what makes him more attractive than her husband, who is funnier and probably better company over the long haul, is that belief in something beyond oneself tends to make a fellow more exciting sexually. A dubious point, but sufficient for a movie which, like others written by Semprun (notably La Guerre Est Finie), insists that...
Today Smalls' Harvesting is run by Jessie (who oversees three combines), his son Joe, 34 (who manages two more), and Jessie's cousin Gayle. Jessie's other son, Byron, 17, and daughter, Susie. 14, both drive combines, though Susie, much to her annoyance, is still considered something of an apprentice. "When I'm 18," she declares, "I'm going to have my own combine and all-woman crew." When Susie says things like that, Byron makes a face as if he's just finished sucking on a lemon.

But the handsome Mungai lost his parliamentary seat in 1974, largely because of his reputation for high living, and thus is not eligible to run for President. That leaves Mbiyu Koinange, 71, a longtime friend and colleague of Kenyatta's, as the faction's most eligible candidate...
...goodbye to a friend you never knew. Like the distant married cousin of the deceased, this year's freshman class finds itself in the unenviable position of a captive audience at the funeral of Harvad's dissipated system of General Education. Death came last spring after a prolonged illness--some would say that Gen Ed, as it is popularly known, never had a chance after it was rushed into life in a fit of post-World War II educational innovation--but it will be four years before a new program takes over completely. Until then the class of '82 will...
