When King said, "I don't care if you show up in a jock strap," Riggs had pictures made of himself clad only in a supporter. If it has contributed nothing substantial to the history of sexism in the '70s, the Riggs-King repartee has at least lent some much-needed humor. Billie Jean cannot resist getting into the spirit occasionally. She calls him "Roberta" and mocks his duck-footed waddle. "I'm pigeon-toed," she says, "so maybe this match should be billed as the duck v. the pigeon...

The vehicular chases that have proved commercially successful in other films are here rendered five times, which is four...
...Rock of Manhattan. Until last year, he was a high-paid employee of a defense contractor. When the firm developed an airborne alarm device to prevent collisions between planes, Rock acquired the rights to the device in return for a promise of royalties. With $173,000, part of it lent through a Government program, he opened Rock Avionic Systems, which will market the device...
