What is needed is a reorganization of the aid program in order to centralize its di rection, clarify its aims and display to the U.S. people that its lofty missions can produce down-to-earth results. As the early reaction to Carter's multibillion-dollar pledge in the Middle East showed last week, the nation is willing enough to assist other peoples if there is a reasonable promise that the investment will produce political or humanitarian benefits. -Frank Trippett

Who among us has never wished the sleuth would experience just a little uncertainty, display a tiny bit of insecurity, or even just once show a little warmth toward dear, chubby old Watson? It's the execution here that is overdrawn. This Holmes at one point looks at the unsuspecting Watson with a gaze so rich in emotion and so reminiscent of Captain Von Trapp that...
