...Eighth New York Film Festival at Lincoln Center assembled twenty-eight new movies, three of them American. New York, God knows, breeds a certain kind of self-conscious hip, and New York film-makers specialize in almost preternatural disaffection. The film critics in that town, who often address their reviews to moot points raised by colleagues, frequently succumb to sinful postures, not the worst of which is seeing one-self as cosmic arbiter of good taste.

By comparison, a standard two-door Impala has 3,500 parts and a Lincoln Continental 9,000. Partly because big U.S. cars are so full of complicated tubes, wiring and equipment, which mechanics call "plumbing and spaghetti," even easy repair jobs can cost great amounts of money. Mechanics' hourly pay has increased from about $3.78 in 1966 to $5 today. This autumn Ford...
