...movie is rescued by its director's brilliant gamesmanship; Richard Rush is a brilliant trickster who can bring a magical, dancing glow even to lackluster materials. Despite all the superfluous innuendos of Meaning, the impotent love story, the seductive but empty-headed banality of the lady-star (Barbara Hershey), and a screenplay that at times suggests that talkies were a big mistake, Rush has created a nerve-tingling celluloid magic show. Rush is a master of the infinite details of the surface, the colored smokes of movie-making, the actual play of images on the acetate. The wholly superficial brilliance...
...Lucky through a sort of Berlitz course in existentialism. In his Godlike role. Cross redefines the stunt man's reality for him every day, thus forcing the youth into a perpetual state of imbalance, where he must constantly re-examine his own premises. Is the leading lady (Barbara Hershey) falling in love with him, or is she playing with him on cue? Is Cross really protecting him, or is he just a conveniently anonymous, expendable bit of cannon fodder in Cross's battle to make a masterpiece? Is the film-allegedly an antiwar tract-a serious enterprise...
...pregnant women and pre-school age children from within five miles of the crippled plant, and thousands of people heeded his advice. "It was awful," said Mrs. Clare Wright, 30, who took her daughter Amy, then 3, to a refugee center set up in a hockey arena in nearby Hershey. Mrs. Wright carried along some clean clothes and a couple of blankets stuffed into a duffel bag, and left behind on the kitchen table a note to let her truckdriver husband know where to find her.

The year that brought 13% inflation, 14% mortgage rates and 15¼% prune rates also saw $225-a-day hospital rooms, $500 off-the-rack men's suits, the 25? Hershey bar and the $3.50 martini. Millions of Americans had to postpone their dreams for a home of their own; the average price of a few-frills new house surged from $59,000 to $65,000. Crude oil spurted to $45 per bbl. on the spot market, and gasoline sold...
...once scorned 19th century now seems as precious as Suez Canal Co. stock was in its heyday. Twenty years ago, a New York dealer reminisces, "people were giving away Victorian furniture for wood scrap." Today those otherwise indestructible pieces, long derided by the English as "chocolate" (they are Hershey brown), still cost less than glued-and-screwed contemporary furniture-but probably not for long: already a Victorian sleigh bed sells for as much as $30,000. Early American furniture, particularly colonial adaptations of Queen Anne, Chippendale and Hepplewhite, are worth far more than 18th century English pieces of the same...
