Despite an evident, shared disdain for federal regulators and regulations, all the mayors exploit grant programs as much as they can. In Harrisburg, Doutrich would Like to accommodate constituents who want to convert a one-way avenue back to two-way flow. But to do so would violate the state-dictated traffic pattern and risk the loss of a $1 million highway subsidy. Richard Baker of Newark, Ohio, who used to sell and service electronic equipment, has winkled out enough economic development grants from Washington to refurbish his downtown. With some relish he tells about his chess game against...
Thus it is all the more urgent that we exploit to the utmost the marvelous tools that space technology has already given us. Even now, few Americans realize that the skills, materials and instruments their engineers devised on the road to the moon have paid for themselves many times over, both in hard cash and in human welfare...
...usual array of stereotyped characters: a horny fat boy, a bespectacled nerd, a conceited stud, busty girls and so on.

Half the time, Meatballs forgets to exploit the gags that it so laboriously sets up. No sooner do we learn, for instance, that Camp Northstar is in the throes of a power blackout or a parents' day than the film veers off on an unrelated tangent...

Whatever their past excesses, it is not the companies but OPEC's members that have banded together to exploit the world shortage of oil and to make that shortage more acute by holding back production. The response of the industrial nations, a forced limit on petroleum imports, will, their leaders agree, bring about a lowering of living standards. In the immediate future, the U.S. most likely will be able...
KILLING THE MONSTER is also sanctioned by the Church. The triumph of Britain's Hammar horror films is that thay exploit the connection between aggression, sex, and religion. Each blow of that long, hard stake into the writhing female vampire's bosom practically reverberates with church bells. Perhaps unintentionally, these movies make it easy to see how poor, repressed Puritans could have burned men and women at the stake for witchcraft. Chances are, we would have done the same...
