Certainly the narration does nothing to rescue Willard's thinly sketched crewmates (Frederic Forrest, Albert Hall, Sam Bottoms and Larry Fishburne). They are typical American kids who inexplicably travel together for days without ever engaging in intimate conversation. When they go mad in the film's second half, their transformations seem arbitrarily decreed by Coppola rather than dramatically justified. We feel nothing. Still, the crew members are almost Dostoyevskian in complexity compared with the deranged Kurtz.

But he lost last week to Forrest ("Fob") James Jr., 44, a former star halfback at Auburn University '55 and a millionaire manufacturer of sporting gear. James' victory showed that Jimmy Carter's tactics can still pay off, at least in the South. His lavishly financed $2.5 million campaign played up his role as an outsider with no ties to the political system. That image was reinforced by Walker & Associates...
