Coburn is delighted to find himself and girl friend installed in a little Georgian love nest in Washington, equipped with flashing red lights that summon him to the White House. But the shared anxieties of state soon give him a case of galloping paranoia, and as the President's analyst comes unglued, the movie swings off on a broad, bawdy, satirical spoof of such U.S. cult objects as secret-agentry, hippiedom, and the supposedly happy New Jersey household where Dad has his "car gun" and his "house gun," Mom takes karate lessons, and Sonny taps the family phone with...
Founded as a high school in 1901, the college is a pleasant collection of neo-Georgian and modern brick buildings set amid rolling hills in the town of Grambling, whose 3,500 residents are outnumbered by the 4,153 students.

"Let's be clear about one thing, and I'll be as gentle as I can," he said. "I am prepared to be your guest, but I will not engage in a shouting match with anyone." The measured seriousness of the statement sobered the crowd, and later...
...Lawrence, Smith once again has a house of his own. Jane, along with Kiki, 13, and Twins Bebe and Annie, 12, together with one family cat and several fish, live in the South Orange house where he was born. Tony, on the other hand, lives in a 15-room Georgian mansion in neighboring Orange, which he bought two years ago, together with a bull mastiff named Dutchess, a second family cat-and his 20-canvas collection that includes works by Newman, Pollock and Kline, bought when his friends' works were selling for peanuts 20 years...
