More than showmanship will be needed to strip away the cocoon of regulations that has kept the trucking industry insulated from competition. Kennedy's bill, which will be followed by one being drafted by the Carter Administration, is only one step in that campaign, a key part of the Administration's anti-inflation drive. Many regulations will have to be torn down by their creator, the once lethargic Interstate Commerce Commission...
...property dealers an organized exchange resembling those provided for commodity traders and stock and bond investors. AMREX works in much the same manner as do other exchanges. The 2,500 members who actively buy and sell through AMREX ante up token annual dues of $575. For this they can key into the exchange's international real estate listings, which are beamed daily to AMREX headquarters by satellite from Europe. The listings are displayed on the video terminals, and with the help of a 1,000-page inventory book, buyers and sellers can size up the market quickly...

Unfortunately, she adds, the master apparently missed the key point: the young Oedipus himself narrowly escaped death at the hands of his father...

But Connery's low-key performance is often vitiated by Donald Sutherland's uncharacteristically broad caricature of a bum bling aide-de-crime. Then again, when the delicious leading lady is at hand, both men tend to fade away. The great train robbery may well have been the crime of its century, but it looks like petty theft compared with Down's ability...
