Liza Minnelli gives a credible performance as Pookie, but salvaging Sterile is too hopeless a task. Her co-star, Wendeli Burton, acts like a man of thirty pretending to be a fourteen-year-old kid when the role calls for an eighteen-year-old pretending to be twenty-five...

There has been considerable sympathy on Capitol Hill for doing away with Title II. Hawaii Democratic Senator Daniel K. Inouye, mindful that many Japanese-Americans were shunted off to camps during World War II, has led the attack. Until last week, however, Inouye's cause seemed hopeless. "I was under the impression that Justice was against repeal," he says.

Joey will get the last 13 months of his contract off, ending a hopeless 2½-year challenge to NBC's Johnny Carson. The coup de gráce was the entry of CBS's Merv Griffin into the late-night competition in August. At last count, Johnny was attracting 33% of the audience to Merv's 18% and Joey...

...scene in the half-light and intermittent flashes of the storm, and had a huge (about 12 feet tall) and very realistic bear rise out of the blackness behind Antigonus, pick him bodily up, and carry him off, the final action drowned in a scream of loud and hopeless terror, amplified, so that it reverberated in the ear drums.
