...heroines like Erica from An Unmarried Woman or the French nymphets in One Sings, the Other Doesn't. While directors no longer trumpet forth about making black films, many still want to make women movies. Ritt escapes this well-intentioned pot-hole by creating a central figure who's got not only XX chromosomes but grit and brains as well...
With the exception of Bridges, all the actors turn in fine performances. Complementing Sally Field's tour-de-force, Pat Bingle in the role of her father deftly shades his performance so that it explains not only his character but also where Norma Rae got her fire-cracking sparkle. The ensemble acting of the management staff in the factory deserves kudos as well. Rather than performing as a contingent from the Ku Klux Klan in mufti, the six men act with an understated assurance which suggests, but does not exaggerate, both their down-home humanity and their anti-semitic hostility...

But he has also played host to an assortment of environmentalists aboard the Mac and finds their pitch frustratingly laden with conjecture. "How can anyone tell if we're frightening the fish?" he asks...
...made it clear that he would urge approval. Though it was past midnight in Cairo, Carter telephoned Sadat to report the encouraging developments. Despite Begin's endorsement, the Israeli Cabinet approved the U.S. proposals by only a thin majority: nine in favor, three opposing and four abstaining. When he got word of the vote, Carter again called Sadat, this time to tell him of his idea of flying to the Middle East. Said Carter: "I'd like to come over with these suggestions. They're not going to be exactly what you want, but I believe they take into consideration...
