...black-and-white painting of the star of Casablanca help drinkers and dancers home in on Bogart's discothèque, set amid glittering car dealerships, fast-food joints and furniture shops full of Oriental rugs and Naugahyde "suites" on Tucson's East Speedway Boulevard. Inside, a hand-printed sign exhorts visitors: PLEASE, PLEASE. NO HATS OR HEADGEAR. NO MOTORCYCLE JACKETS, NO T SHIRTS, NO BARE FEET...

Kross has spent most of his free time this past week burrowing through the paperwork involved in applying for the Rhodes Scholarship. Clark, on the other hand, has been interested in human rights issues for years and was active in the South Africa protests last spring...

Krueger, on the other hand, has tried to make effectiveness the central campaign issue. He claims Texas has lost 11 military bases because Tower wasn't "tending to your business."

...film producer/-director Allen Mantell consistently fails to probe hard enough, whether out of respect for Allen's privacy or out of deference to a comedian/social observer of Allen's stature. While Mantell does cover some of the relevant bases, he ignores key leads to the problem at hand. For instance, in the half-hour we hear nothing of Allen's fifteen years of psychoanalysis, although that process has probably provided Allen with a larger portion of his humor than any other single factor. Allen does a lot of psychological jokes, and the understanding that his analysis has afforded...
