...President's Men. Woodward and Bernstein, however, have become a woman television reporter and cameraman, and instead of bringing down a president, they're hot on the trail of a near-disaster at a nuclear power plant that almost destroyed Southern California. They've even found a new "Deep Throat": a control-room supervisor at the plant who fears that the accident may happen again, and go out of control. The result is a race against the clock, against the utility company that runs the plant, and against the television station manager who wants to avoid controversy at any cost...

...play their parts traditionally, adding to the general lack of direction. Ellen Gambulos's Adele, the chambermaid who wants to be a star, showed a delicate voice and solid acting, except on occasions when she allows her pride in her steely top notes show. Brumit brings a rich, deep voice and commanding presence to Frank, the jailer; and Corey Stone '79 plays Falke, the "Dr. Fledermaus" bent on revenge, with flair, though his voice is comparatively bland...
