...their "do-re-mis" and "ABCs." Old Macdonald Had a Farm, an old stand-by that may not bring them out of their seats back home, also seemed to hit just the right note with the youngsters. Every time Vereen made a barnyard-animal sound, the children squealed with delight. Vereen-who played Chicken George in TV's Roots and is a song-and-dance veteran of Broadway (Pippin)-was pleased with his performance, but admitted to feeling "a bit shaky." Said he: "I was afraid of being too emotional and teary-eyed...
...show that Chris can have just as much fun with a man as she did with a woman. Towne (who also wrote and produced the film) has her express delight with her lover's penis, and beg to hold it while he urinates. Look folks.

In Nashville he bristled at charges that he is reactionary, insisting...
...pieces, his slim parallelograms of rusty sail leaning on the wind-chopped estuary. Most of all, John Constable was inspired by his sense of nature seen fresh, without evident convention: the patches of scudding sunlight on wheat fields, the broken arc of a rainbow, the painterly delight in filling three-quarters of a canvas with high piling clouds. Time and again, one sees images in Constable that might have been lifted straight from Ruisdael.
