...efficiency rating figures, is as much about business as anything else." The story also required healthy feet. Shields loped through the labyrinthine corridors of the HEW building, lurked about the halls of Congress and made several trips to the White House. She interviewed HEW Secretary Joseph Califano, Senator Edward Kennedy, health industry lobbyists and Congressmen for and against the Administration's medical care bill. She tracked down volumes of studies always revealing, she says, "that costs have risen again." Concludes Shields: "It's a challenging, almost intractable problem, and with next year's election ahead...

But her husband is obviously as impressed by her political credentials: her great-grandfather, grandfather, father and uncle...
...picture ever made that was not worth its weight in popcorn. Give Playwright Louis La Russo II credit for knowing his Italo-American dropouts, fighters with four-letter mouths. He plants neon stickers on his key figures. The good guy (Danny Aiello) is Over-the-Hill. The bad guy (Edward O'Neill) is Below-the-Belt.
