...lovely loser, of course, was AH MacGraw, whom many figured a shoo-in for the best actress award. To be sure, there were complaints that her performance as Jenny Cavilleri in Love Story wasn't quite up to her Brenda Patimkin in 1969's Goodbye, Columbus.

The commission, empowered last year specifically to protect Maine's environment, must now consider hard economic questions about new jobs and income as well. While the proposed Searsport refinery would create a serious risk of oil pollution in its own environs, the desulfurized oil that it is meant to produce would, when marketed, lessen air pollution over...
...game, the man who walked out on pro football to prove his competence as an actor, businessman and racial leader very softly asks Toback if he really thinks he is going to win. Brown then sinks ten straight, leaving a thoroughly psyched Toback revealed as a born loser...
