...surprise that when the camera follows Kazem and his wife to the Houston Astrodome, it pans across the stadium, filled with enthusiastic fans on their feet singing the National Anthem, and then focuses on Kazem, who remains seated, his face grimly defiant as the words "land of the free" echo through the stadium...
...Indonesian island of Sumatra. Here too Soviet naval activity has been on the rise, in both obvious and not-so-obvious ways. Soviet destroyers, cruisers and diesel-powered, torpedo-firing Foxtrot submarines have been passing through the strait at the rate of about six a month, while nuclear-powered Echo-class subs, armed with antiship cruise missiles, prowl the South China Sea.

She comes equipped with an ingeni(e)ous echo, a snotty little girl's voice placed piercingly over the audience. Most of the other special effects have a deliberately plodding quality: the magician is lowered--haltingly--from the splashy proscenium on a "magic carpet"; an actor stands on a platform that is then turned round and round by other...
