...more dream than dreamy, who is tooling in a white T-bird. Milner, a lonely fellow at heart, wastes half the evening trying to get rid of a junior high school girl he has picked up by mistake, and spends the other half learning to appreciate her company. The jerk is able to pick up a good looking blonde because she thinks he can buy her liquor, and he occupies himself by trying to win the girl with phony stories of wealth and possession...
...conditions, rather than pressing for outsized wage boosts. Last month they staged three wildcat strikes, mostly over safety issues and other working conditions. The most important demand is that workers be allowed to refuse overtime. U.A.W. officials say that in preliminary talks, Chrysler negotiators exhibited less of a "knee-jerk reaction" against such demands than GM or Ford officials. Indeed, almost as soon as they were targeted, Chrysler officials expressed willingness to raise wages and benefits an average 6.2% each year of a new three-year pact, though they did not make a detailed offer. Woodcock did not aggressively demand...
Neither suspenseful nor novel enough in its action sequences to make it as an adventure film, Crude is also not funny enough to make it as a comedy. Director Kramer and Writer Norman attempt to jerk it to life with sadism (Dunaway beaten almost to death by Palance's mob), vulgarity (Scott urinating on Palance's boots during one of their confrontations) and an excess of bawdy language.

While Bok plays the somber straight man, Dunlop slouches in his chair, scowls disdainfully in the direction of his ever diminishing number of adversaries, only to jerk upright in paroxysms of laughter when his side scores a point. At a meeting last Fall, he and Bok disagreed over a bit of financial minutia, and when evidence corroborating his position came forth from the audience, he lurched forward chuckling, his finger waggling at the somewhat taken aback Bok. Some observers swore they saw him stick out his tongue...
Most undergraduates who miss classes today will be people who have yet to buy notebooks for the second semester, or those whose instinctual reaction to the words "union" and "strike" is "support the demands." In the "Us Against Them" world of students, faculty and administrators, this knee-jerk reaction is understandable. Beneath the surface, however, the purported convergence of interest between graduate students and undergraduates is an uncertain proposition...
