Just 31 days after his election, Jimmy Carter made his first Cabinet-level appointments and thereby offered the first solid clues as to the future shape of his Administration. As Secretary of State, he selected Cyrus Vance, 59, an urbane, methodical, Yale-educated Manhattan lawyer who had been Deputy Defense Secretary in the Johnson Administration and a familiar figure in and around U.S. foreign policy for more than a decade. At the same time, Carter also announced that a close personal friend, Thomas Bertram Lance, 45, a bulky (6 ft. 4 in., 235 Ibs.), blunt-speaking banker and college dropout...
After the conviction, Miller and the boy's other local backers brought in a new lawyer and an investigator who worked to nail down the time sequence more firmly. They got assistance from a CBS executive who pinpointed exactly when a particular movie scene had been broadcast-ten seconds past 9:50-because one neighbor had been watching the scene when Peter called...

Stahr insists on making a big-budget quality movie that may never turn a profit. He does it over the protests of the corporate lawyer, Fleishacker (Ray Milland), and Studio Chief Pat Brady (Robert Mitchum), who has described his production chief as a "goddam Vine Street Jesus." As much as his uncertain health and assaults of melancholy, it is good taste that ultimately undoes Stahr and permits Brady and the board of directors...
