Peckinpah means this movie to outrage; it is a kind of calculated insult mixed with generous doses of self-satire. What plot exists centers on a wrecked cocktail pianist named Bennie (Warren Dates), who tickles the ivories in some dive far into the bowels of Mexico. Once long ago Paulette "Goddard came into the joint and requested a tune, but the place has gone downhill since then. Bennie still keeps a bleary lookout for a buck, and his greed and desperation get him hooked into a feudal revenge scheme to track down a certain Alfredo Garcia and separate him from...

Since the January 1973 highs, the index of all shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange has fallen 42%, the index of all issues on the American Stock Exchange has plunged 46%, and a popular average of over-the-counter stocks (those not listed on an exchange) has plummeted 54% (see chart).

...Each dive should be an adventure straight from Jules Verne. As the subs plunge two miles down, they will descend into a world of inky darkness where even their powerful spotlights will be unable to penetrate more than a few dozen feet. Pressure will be great enough (about 2 tons per sq. in.) to crush ordinary submarines. Indeed, the scientists have already had a preview of the project's perils. Last summer, during preliminary surveying, the Archimède crashed into rocks several times when it was tossed about by the strong bottom currents. The little sub had another...
