Colonel John Warnock of Arkansas rises to address the convention on the subject of 'America in Jeopardy.' Chief Justice Earl Warren was "the worst thing that ever happened" to the United States. "When he lay in state in the Supreme Court building" Warnock thundered, "over one million Negroes were in walking distance but only 300 showed up to pay their respects." He goes on to bemoan the fact that there are "500,000 people in Chicago who don't even speak English" and lament that "the more mixed blood in hospitals, the more hepatitis there will...
...entire campaign season: 70,000 farmers attending a "farm fest" on a muddy field in Minnesota's rural Lake Crystal. Introduced rousingly by Senator Hubert Humphrey, who accused the Ford Administration of "violating the law" in imposing embargoes on foreign grain sales, Carter assailed Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz and used a subtle "we" to identify with his attentive audience.

With added income from their hit records-their Atlantic album Where the Happy People Go (to the discos, natch) has been on the bestselling charts...
Worse than all this is the movie's at tempt to make the audience accept such heavy, not to say klutzy, actors as Shaw and James Earl Jones as light-leaping, far-darting heroes. They work earnestly at trying to dance on air, but the strain shows. All that can be said is that their clumsiness matches that of the film's writing and direction. Swashbuckler sinks under its own weight like an over loaded galleon...
