...highly-skilled agent provocateur, as when she goes undercover to write a piece on a New York est class. Her perfectly timed charges, wired together in a tightly-structured essay, totally demolish Werner Erhard's sham life-training course. When she turns to Jane Fonda or Billy Graham, she wields a razor instead of a club, making accurate, carefully-planned incisions. She distrusts dogma wherever she finds it, whether in Graham's entrepreneurial righteousness or Fonda's one-dimensional millionaire liberalism. A dedicated feminist, she nevertheless gets us past the cant and rhetoric that hardens around the core of feminist...
...long ago, moviegoers knew, or cared about, only the big stars-Streisand and Newman, Fonda and Redford. Now the directors are often just as famous: Francis Coppola, Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas. But who has heard of Reuben Cannon, Michael Fenton and Partner Jane Feinberg, Jennifer Shull, Lynn Stalmaster or Joyce Selznick? Almost 50,000 members of the Screen Actors Guild, that's who.

...really nothing," said the tourist; she had merely tumbled down a staircase while visiting Israel. But after a trip to Hadassah Hospital, Jane Fonda was on crutches with a cast up to her knee. The broken left leg did not prevent her from giving several benefit performances for the Haifa Theater, nor from taking her first tour of Old Jerusalem. Unfortunately, the star-struck local press easily matched her pace every limp of the way. Plagued by reporters at Jerusalem's monument to the Holocaust victims, the actress exploded: "You won't even let me cry by myself...
Nuclear power should be a major help. Not hindered by Jane Fonda-like ecology zealots, the Soviet Union is moving ahead on nuclear energy. The country currently has 23 reactors in operation, providing 10% of its electricity, about the same percentage as in the U.S. But the Soviets intend to build fast. The present Five-Year Plan calls for construction of ten reactors a year...
