...tube whenever he appeared. He booked a concert at Manhattan's Lincoln Center, and it sold out. Westbury asked him back for a one-week gig for $100,000. Love 76 has sold 43,000 copies, through mail orders drawn by the TV spots. Lemongello was becoming a household word of sorts-at least in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. But, as he ruefully admitted, "if you mentioned my name in Philadelphia, no one would know me." He realized that unless he could get a recording contract, his instant success would evaporate...
However, the prominence of the Head of State's ironic and cynical vision does not reflect Carpentier's emphasis. Carpentier exploits the vulgar cosmopolitanism of the Head of State--who memorizes great quotations from a household dictionary to fabricate intellectual conversation--for comic contrast to the genuine internationalism of The Student. Despite his sneering, the Head of State serves the myths that falsify Latin America's identity, and the political forces that deny its independence. His anonymity is a well-deserved insult.

Elizabeth Williams's Notes of a Feminist Therapist is largely a complication of the case histories of her psychoanalytic patients--cases-in-point in which women had to grapple with such things as competing professionally with a spouse, having children out of wedlock, adopting children into a lesbian household, or relying on masochistic fantasies for sexual arousal.

...script called for the longest, most grueling run of Democratic primaries and caucuses in U.S. history. In an effort to make the selection system more open, the Democrats had rewritten their ground rules for campaigning and Congress drastically tightened the laws on financing. Nearly a dozen serious candidates, some household names and others almost unknown, had formally entered the fray. On the sidelines hovered two of the party's most formidable figures. According to all the conventional wisdom, the process was going to be a marathon shambles, producing nearly five months of furious activity but probably settling nothing...
...feeling a little ripped off. Like Taking Our Bodies Back, it uses the interview technique to raise vital issues and to air well-founded complaints. But to anyone who is already conversant with the bottom-line tenets of women's liberation--that women's labor is exploited in the household, the brothel, and the working professions--the litany of oppression will be so familiar as to seem almost soothing, and at the same time politically unsatisfying. When all the talk is over, is it enough to conclude--as this film does--that what's needed is for women...
