...grows nostalgic when he discusses the Marines, although he drives home his points in characteristically animated fashion. "They beat Ma, apple pie and Chevrolets into our heads. 'Honor to the flag'--that was the big thing. They made me love America, force-fed me on the Red, White and Blue. At that time, I thought radicals and hippies were from another planet, afraid to go fight for their country. I resented their long hair. After all, how much respect can you have for people who don't respect themselves enough to clean up? I had short hair and was meticulous...
...regrette rien. Across the channel, the Duke of Wellington once displayed something of that spirit when an old mistress (a Frenchwoman) threatened to publish all kinds of lurid details about his grace. "Publish and be damned!" the Iron Duke responded, or words to that effect. Grover Cleveland ("Ma, Ma, where's my pa?/ Gone to the White House-ha ha ha!") also managed a show of imperturbability about an illegitimate child who turned...
Caveman has been assembled with the :are that would normally be lavished on a Big Mac during the lunchtime rush. The dialogue (in a pre-Tarzan patois) rarely gets more sophisticated than "Aieee!

Kudos to Richard Moll as an Abominable Snowman who shambles around like Groucho Marx in sopping-wet fake fur, and to an animated Tyrannosaurus rex who deserves next...
...extremis. " As to the blood loss, O'Leary agrees it was large (almost four quarts) but says the rate of loss is more important than the vol ume. Reagan's blood loss was steady, not gushing, and doctors had no trouble in compensating with transfusions. The ma jority of gunshot victims come into a hos pital much worse off, O'Leary says. In fact, he contends that the President would probably have been all right even if treat ment had been delayed by as much as 20 minutes. Fortunately, Ronald Reagan and the nation did not have...
...after a while the numbers begin to blur, and the death tolls lose their human meaning. The blood will seem much redder if we look at the reports of actual atrocities committed by the El Salvadorean government and documented by a Congressional fact-finding mission. Rep. Gerry Studds (D-Ma.), Rep. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), and Rep. Robert Edgar (D-Pa.), obtained hundreds of first hand accounts of "murder, torture, rape, and the burning of villages and crops" by Government Security Forces. According to the United Press International...
