...often wooden. "Why did you insist on marrying me?" Natalie asks Byron. "We could have made love as much as you wanted. But now you've tied me to you on this rope of burning nerves." Furthermore, in all the hours of script there is scarcely a glint of humor. As a collegiate critic once said about an earlier work: "All Wouk and no play...
Regrettably, Ronald Reagan and Leonid Brezhnev had never talked. The half a dozen letters that Reagan received from Brezhnev were stiff and cool. He remained in the eyes of Reagan a Communist bully. Richard Nixon, who spent days with the Soviet leader, caught the glint of a realist in Brezhnev, a man struggling within his own system to cool hot heads, a man sometimes mellowed by the memories of his father's admonition to bring peace to the world.

The bottle, adorned with Newman's visage and the glint of his Iceberg-blue eyes, is priced between $1.19 and $1.39. The profits, if any (some critics say the vinaigrette reeks of dehydrated onion and garlic), will go to tax-deductible charities and causes selected to Newman's taste...
