...only hope that chance gives him the opportunity to change the world. But a new and creative form of humanism, an inescapably globally social humanism of all men is being born in the fundamental idealism of the NIEO Because of its youth, it is still obscured by the fog of power politics and conflicting ideologies. But it is moving its way toward the clear light of international recognition, reason, and perhaps agreement it is not blaming anyone, nor it is asking for charity it not asking that America carry the burden alone. Instead it is a challenge...
...fingered gambler one night on the six o'clock boat to Louisville. Laskey Bell, now a rich man, sent his son to Andover and forgot about his wife, living alone in the majestic house he had built for her out of white oak and limestone, sinking into the dyspeptic fog of good whiskey that provided him with his own private Dreamland...

When he cries out in solioquy that he will "enmesh" the Moor, Plummer squceezes himself into the most virile villain ever...
...streets of New York and through Central Park in his black trenchcoat, carrying a brief case and the morning paper, he seems just as he was in Starting Over, when he frequented the brick sidewalks of Beacon Street and perused the wares of Quincy Market in a brown London Fog. This is not to say, however, that Paternity equals the successes of Starting Over. Though the new film is enjoyable, inventive, occasionally very funny and emotionally-arousing, Starting Over was all that and much more so. Paternity suffers for lack of the romantic electricity that Reynolds and Jill Clayburgh created...
