...outta there to come back here 'cause they know. They got you." Another woman, also a prostitute, ventures beyond the scope of the film when she says, "It's not really the men's fault; we're all victims. The almighty God of this country is the dollar bill." Deitch was not interested in pursuing either that thought or the politics of oppression in any broader context. The film closes with an exhortation to women to keep talking--to work together, educate one another, and overcome their mutual mistrust...
...lost their jobs in the past 18 months. More than two-thirds of those still employed are working less than a full day. Sales have been hurt by the global recession and the astronomical rise of the Swiss franc on world money markets, which has added 70% to the dollar price of a Swiss watch since 1971.

Television's bionic twosome, Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers, seemed made for each other-literally. Like Steve, she had been rebuilt with superhuman powers by space-age engineers. Sure enough, when she made some try-out appearances on ABC's Six Million Dollar Man last year, Austin's all-seeing artificial eye nearly popped out of his head. Who could blame him? Jaime looked smashing, and as Steve's blood pressure climbed, so did the show's ratings. Explains willowy Lindsay Wagner, who plays Jaime: "Viewers tuned in to see whether passion could flow between...
