Writers Levinson and Link develop a few pleasant comedy bits involving Segal's status as a divorced father who is trying hard to control his cigarette habit but not hard enough to control his fast lip. They also devise a nice, slow-motion chase between Segal and Bottoms in one of the amusement parks where the film was shot. This material is at least mildly amusing, and affords excuses for Old Pros Henry Fonda and Richard Widmark to come on irascible...
Professors connected with the East Asian Research Center and University administrators have maintained that the grant carries with it no "strings" or political obligations. But given the apparent link between the KTA and the Korean government, more than just lip service to this absence of ties is needed. At a very minimum, a full disclosure of the aims and uses of the grant money should be made, especially until Harvard receives the as-yet undelivered portion of the money.

The rich kid said no, the maid spoke Spanish too, and walked out. Paco laughed and swore a little more and realized he was beginning...
Even after years of victory, the outspoken admiral refuses to batten down his lip. He has criticized defense contractors for not knowing ships from "horse turds," urged Congress to issue most admirals coloring books to while away their time, complained about the training at Annapolis. The Navy brass still harbors hopes of getting rid of him, but it is no match for his powerful friends on the Senate and House Armed Services committees. One of them, Democratic Representative James Lloyd of California, came to his defense last week with a broadside of marvelously mixed metaphors: "I am not prepared...
