...book and screenplay) an engaging loser who would obviously do anything to anybody; Tammy Locke a fearsome moppet, capable of a look of existential bafflement when her father won't let her dry the dishes-and of cheerful chuckles when Daddy and his friends end up on the dock all covered with blood...
Late Starter. An international jury of 21 picked the prizewinners, although it could not wait until the U.S. entries (delayed by dock strikes) were uncrated. The U.S. entrants, a rather pallid and particular group of seven "cool" hard-and soft-edge abstractionists, were conceded to be out of the race anyway, since Americans won both the last São Paulo and Venice biennials.

...complacent and prosperous manufacturers must get off their backsides," insisted that Britain can no longer tolerate "workers who inflict harm on production with go-slows or sporadic strikes in defiance of their own union." A government report has just accused Jack Dash, the unofficial leader of London's dock workers, of disrupting export-centered work on London's docks. Though the government does not admit so publicly, its policy is now clearly aimed at creating unemployment on purpose to rid the economy of irresponsible labor disturbances, force workers to shift into the most productive industries...
