...arrived in 1971, has maintained and strengthened the alliance. As a result, the BGA, rather somnolent for most of its 50 years, now has influence out of all proportion to its membership (1,400) and its annual budget ($200,000). Brunner himself is something of a crusader. He is fond of stopping in midsentence, pounding his desk and exclaiming: "Damn it, people shouldn't take bribes!" Not the least of BGA'S accomplishments has been to increase press interest in investigations...
...hear what you eat." The White House dutifully mails back recipes for some of the Nixon family's favorite low-budget dishes.

Altman's film is basically a wallow in the atmosphere of Los Angeles today. Altman's virtues are a good eye and some talent with actors, as well as a healthy distaste for the Hollywood culture which surrounds him. But his flaws are fatal: he doesn't know what makes a plot hold...
...lost very few members because of my attitude on Vietnam," Thompson said. "My people will disagree vehemently with what I have to say, but they are fond of their rector...
