...William Griffith, Professor of International Relations at MIT, advocated a more cautious approach to American foreign policy. Griffith said that the ideal foreign policy blends human rights and "realpolitik," but that "there can be no firm decisions as to the mixture." He added, however, that individuals can--and should--deviate from governmental decisions...
...basketball but in love with baseball. As a calm, scholarly child in Washington, B.C., already too stiff to ask the Senators' players for autographs, Kuhn whiled away early 1940s summers manning the scoreboard for a dollar a day, just to have some part in the wondrous events at Griffith Stadium.

But Ron Howard, who has been acting in sitcoms (The Andy Griffith Show, Happy Days) for most of his 28 years, should know more about shaping comic characters, situations and moods than he shows here. Winkler, the Fonz on Happy Days, is pleasantly put-upon here; Michael Keaton, also from TV, is mildly manic; and Shelley Long so resembles Pam Dawber in her squeaky cuteness that one wonders why the producers didn't raid Mork and Mindy for the real thing.
