...Averell Harriman was once known in Washington, more or less affectionately, as "the Crocodile" for his deceptively sleepy-looking gaze and sharp bite. He is 88 now. Henry Cabot Lodge is 77. Last week in Boston, the World Affairs Council, honoring Democrat Harriman for long and distinguished diplomatic service, asked Republican Lodge to present the award. The two have compiled more than 90 years of public service-including Harriman's stints as Ambassador to the Soviet Union and Britain and Lodge's tours as envoy to South Viet Nam and West Germany.

Even when the script calls for a loving gaze, she still has a look in her eyes that says "Ha ha, I'm making two million dollars a year so Tom and I can afford to be ostentatiously political." And while the camera tries to catch her pert derriere every time she bends over, Fonda looks older than ever before. Redford should have kept Rising Star and set Fonda free with the mustangs...
