...scene, where Chris Sarandon gives a controlled performance of a moderately sick young man, without resorting to the crazed eyes and maniacal gestures of the stereotype. And her willful strength in the courtroom is the reflected glow of Anne Bancroft's fiery performance as her lawyer. Bancroft, looking rather haggard, uses her familiar tight-lipped, manipulative and superbly confident persona for the forces of good this time; here she's Mrs. Robinson in professional clothing, expressing her contempt for men with the zeal of a crusader who has finally found a worthy cause. The part is embarrassingly small...
...little K.C. & the Sunshine Band thrown incongruously in for dancing and revisionism. The best songs in the jukebox were progressive country: Jerry Jeff Walker, Waylon Jennings (and the Waylors), Willie Nelson, Jessi Colter, Emmy Lou Harris, along with Jimmy Buffet in a more folk-pop direction and Merle Haggard in a more mainstream country tradition. With his Friends album, Hank Williams, Jr. joins this group...

What are we doing here? How shall we live? Are we somehow part of their burden? Will we always stand over against them...
Noncorporate markets for private planes are also growing. More of the ultra-affluent are buying planes, following the example of Actors Cliff Robertson and Gene Hackman, Country Singer Merle Haggard and Attorney F. Lee Bailey. Learjets and other craft that can fly as high as 45,000 ft. or more are popular for aerial photography and mapping. Small planes are being used to seed crops, salt icy highways, conduct geological surveys, and patrol the nation's coasts. Nearly 30% of the industry's sales are to foreign customers-not surprisingly, since 90% of the world's small...
