...more than rampant professionalism involved here, but Forsyth and the screenwriters reserve this information for a snapper ending. It seems that Voight's father, long dead, was a . . . but let the movie hold on to its arthritic surprise. It is just about all it has. The Odessa File has lumbering yearnings to be a kind of fictional semidocumentary. It invokes Simon Wiesenthal, the Nazi hunter, whose name is listed in the credits as an adviser and who even appears, played by an Israeli actor, as a futile attempt to lend the project a little importance, like using the name...
Inflation is coupled with rising unemployment. New government figures last week put the unemployed total at 800,000, or 6% of the total work force. Another 500,000 are on short time, earning less than a full salary. Some union leaders are now being accused by the rank and file of softness toward management.

I feel we got to get it now or it's gonna be too late...
...synod fathers turned down the major portion of a final summary document on evangelization, some of them voting to quash it because it was too laden with vague generalities. But though they did not produce any comprehensive analysis, the bishops did leave behind a file of some 3,000 separate statements for the Pope to peruse at his pleasure -or displeasure...
