...cover copies. With the benefit of massive promotion, the paperback hit big, so perhaps the film makers thought they had a good thing. To make it better, they cast Jeannie Berlin (the scorned wife in The Heartbreak Kid") as the eponymous heroine. Sheila is fresh out of college, a Jewish princess from Harrisburg, Pa., who gets her heart broken in the big city. She falls hard for a doctor (mother will be pleased) who treats her casually (mother will be irked) and brushes her aside (mother will be furious). The doctor (Roy Scheider) takes up with Sheila's slovenly...

He had earlier appeared to be the AFL-CIO'S first choice for the nomination. Lately, however, associates have reported that the AFL-CIO'S George Meany has been increasingly unhappy with Jackson...
Coppola is clearly at pains to make some of the points he made in The Godfather I again: that the underworld is a business organization; that there are ethnic divisions in it between Jewish mobsters in Miami Beach and Italian ones in Las Vegas; that the distaff side of the family is protected from the unpleasant side of the business; that everyone--including the Godfather--lives in constant danger of sudden death; that the protective function of the Sicilian mafia was not wholly lost in America.
