...maintain courtroom respect -in some cases and in some places. Boston Defense Attorney Joseph Balliro points out that "anything that jurors really can't relate to will make them harden up. Motorcycle gangs, homosexuals, radicals, any defendants who threaten the juries emotionally, economically or politically" seem to lend credibility to the policeman as witness. "Suburban, small-town juries," says Balliro, "view a cop as the boy next door because, in a small town, he is." And they believe...
...currency and trade problems could be eased if oil-producing countries were to put much of their new wealth back into the economies of industrialized nations. Witteveen proposed that the Arabs invest in the IMF itself. The IMF could then lend the money to Western nations or to poorer countries, helping to set their payments balances in order.

...classical musician who is selected as a pawn by a couple of squabbling espionage outfits. Made in France, probably by rote, the movie might have remained there had it not contained several sententious asides on the evils of electronic observation and every citizen's right to privacy. They lend a certain topicality, a tone of lighthearted caution, which, like the movie, is almost totally unnecessary...
