...morning brings a fresh set of problems. An ore carrier called the George Stinson is downbound. Known unaffectionately as "Gorgeous George," the Stinson is a recently built 1,000-ft.-long Goliath of the lakes. Gorgeous she isn't; unmanageable she is. Says a company skipper who has been on the lakes since 1936: "Those thousand footers don't belong up here." Hall further defines the problem. "They need a lot of power to avoid getting stuck. But if they come barreling around the turns full bore, they wind up in the trees...
...perplexing questions of the case. It will not try to resolve whether Silkwood was so tranquilized by pills to calm a nervous stomach, as Oklahoma state police contend, that she ran off the left side of the highway. It will not decide whether, as a union investigation claims, the fresh marks on her car's rear bumper were evidence that she had been forced off the road.

Lieb apologized, and the usually meticulous New Yorker, accused of publishing a canard, explained that to preserve Otto's anonymity, it had taken the exceptional step of allowing the author of the piece to do most of the checking...
...prey fare better. Though at times hobbled by accent difficulties, British Actor Peter Firth (Equus) is surprisingly convincing as the title character, a sullen, ducktailed counterboy with vague cowboy dreams of glory. TV's Hal Linden, playing Grant's stuffy suburban husband, makes some thing fresh out of a stereotype, as does Faracy. Unfortunately, these performers must share the screen with Grant and Candy Clark, who turn already hysterical women into harridans. "Filth! Filth!" Grant screams at Gortner, in one of the movie's many unwatchable moments...
