...were 700 American breweries; now there are only 48. If trends continue, the top five companies (AnheuserBusch, Schlitz, Miller, Pabst and Coors) will have about 85% of the beer market by 1985. Traditionalists are full of memories of things Pabst, and no newfangled "light" beer with fewer calories and indistinct taste will substitute for the Real Thing. Those who like the lighter brews are quick to criticize the weighty liquids that they equate with...
...reduced audibility" on its cover. Later, after publishing its scoop, the Post obtained transcripts of the Jan. 8 tape that had been prepared by experts on the special prosecutor's staff; they had deleted the hush money reference, deeming that section of the tape to be impossibly indistinct-a problem common to most of the tapes.

Further, the time Cassavetes spends in the Crazy Horse is amusing but aimless...

...M.F.A.'s new-and exceedingly fuzzy-plan calls for a government built on a pyramid of local worker and neighborhood commissions and popular assemblies, organized at grass-roots levels and culminating at some indistinct point in an undefined "popular assembly." Under this system, there would no longer be a need for contending political parties. At the same time, the secret ballot would be abolished, and the elected Constituent Assembly, which is supposed to represent the voters, would be made impotent. All of the so-called people's assemblies would be fostered and directed by the military, and would...
