...believe that they have a serious cautionary interest in rape, its causes and consequences, but whenever there is a choice between the sober and the merely slick they opt for the easy and popular thing. To play the victim they have chosen that chic curiosity, Margaux Hemingway. With her flat voice and her tuned-out manner there is no hope of her playing anything like a typical American woman-or victim. She can only be what she is, a high-fashion model, a glamorous exotic. But that's all right. Her work gives her a logical reason to display...
...film, of course, deals with the earliest weeks after Watergate and fails to recover any of the uncertainty and darkness of that time. The excerpts of TV appearances by Nixon, Agnew, Kleindienst, and other Humpty Dumpties about to fall are simply funny; their straight-faced optimism and flat denials sound ludicrous.

Wall Street analysts generally believe Xerox is not in a slump but a lull caused by the natural constraints of being an industry leader and thus the target everybody shoots at. They expect the company's profits to be flat this year but to pick up in 1977 as the 9200 and other new products begin making a real contribution to earnings. In any case, Xerox is still looking ahead. Having done so much to create the mountain of paper that businessmen deal with daily, Xerox is now working toward helping them eliminate it, or so officials privately admit...
