...Follette is sometimes too subdued, Jerauld is all too often not subtle enough. She plays the prim, proper and meddlesome Sarah with a repertoire of grandiose and stereotypical gestures and inflections. Except for her garden conversation with Ruth, most of Jerauld's performance is forced and contrived. Prum, on the other hand, turns in a controlled, clearly delineated and uniformly excellent portrayal of Sarah's husband...
...Kramer vs. Kramer. Emotions play across her face as subtly as breezes ruffling a pond; rarely have the varieties of anguish and uncertainty been so thoroughly catalogued through look and gesture. Streep's understated suffering rescues the character of Joanna Kramer from a virtually no-win plot: bad enough that a mother should leave her young child and then disappear from the film for nearly an hour; worse still that she come back and try to break up the new life that her husband and son have painfully built. "If Joanna is a villain," Streep recently told TIME...
Iran has been trying to induce other members of the OPEC cartel to refuse payment for oil in dollars and instead to demand a "basket" of other currencies, presumably West German marks, Swiss and French francs, and Japanese yen. In fact, there is not nearly enough of these currencies available to pay for the huge oil transactions, and European and Japanese governments would wind up unavoidably having to expand their money supplies in a most inflationary way to accommodate the deals. Fortunately, the Saudis and other oil producers plan to continue accepting dollars. To ban them would cause...
...Cart Man uses few words, The Story of an English Village (Atheneurm; $7.95) is totally mute. Still, John S. Goodall's watercolors are eloquent enough to carry the progress of a British town from medieval beginnings to its present state. In other hands, the use of half pages overlaid on full ones might be a gimmick. But Goodall's visual narrative is so controlled, and his costumes and customs so accurate, that history assumes a personality. Moving by lively steps, it arranges hemlines and coats, advances from midwives to doctors, from town criers to village schools...
Metropolitan Filaret of Kiev, who presided, later explains in his elegant headquarters residence that the surviving 4,000 churches are "more or less enough," despite the overflow visible at the cathedral. Parish priests, he adds, get a minimum of 150 rubles ($225) a month, often more, and usually a free, furnished apartment, sufficient to enable them to get by comfortably in the Soviet Union...
