...voice is not there. Bacall--she of the throaty growl to die for--has only an average singing voice and performs many of her songs in a Rex Harrison-like half song, half speech. Ditto her co-star Harry Guardino, who is best known for helping Clint Eastwood rearrange faces in Dirty Harry and The Enforcer. Because this is basically a two-character show--and because this duo can't dance very well either--the musical end of Woman sinks like a cast iron...
HELP FIGHT CRIME: BUY GUNS, urge bumper stickers on cars along Miami's Flagler Street.

But the doctor soon discovers that his specimen is not only intelligent, but well-read and inquisitive, a sensitive young man painfully aware of his condition. Refusing to return him to his sideshow master, Treves sets...
...That growl from Tehran was enough to send the gulf states scuttling for the shelter of avowed neutrality. Saudi Arabia immediately contradicted Iraq and insisted that King Khalid's phone call had expressed only his "concern and good brotherly feelings" for Iraq and prayed to "God Almighty to grant what is best for our Arab and Muslim world." Kuwait's ruling Emir, Sheik Jaber al Ahmed al Sabah, implored both combatants to pursue peacemaking channels. Like Kuwait, both Bahrain and the U.A.E. denied reports that they had allowed the Iraqi air force to use their bases and adamantly...
