Maybe all sequels should be made in 3-D. Imagine how tiresome it would be to see Jason, the monster in the hockey mask, polish off another group of dumb teenagers in an ordinary print. But this time, as they gambol through the woods whose mean paths he endlessly stalks, the sundry sharp and blunt instruments that are always ready to his hand come at them and the audience with a certain vivid super-reality. It is all so gruesome that horror turns to humor and the fun comes from the appreciation of being cleverly conned by Director Steve Miner...
...planted over the graves instead of headstones. They look like yearbook pictures. Four new half-dug graves lie open in the red soil. The older ones are festooned with the kinds of ribbons used on candy boxes. A discarded stretcher lies off in a corner beside a green hospital mask. There is shelling to the south. Back at the Commodore a message comes through that Colonel Azmi is reported killed in Tyre. Is the boy Samer alive...
Just when everyone thought it was safe to go back into bookstores, here comes the opening image of Peter Benchley's new novel: "The girl lay on the surface of the sea, looking into the water through a mask, and was afraid."

Hence it is to be feared that European governments will succumb to the temptation at the Versailles summit to mask their own economic failures by launching massive attacks against the U.S. policy of high-interest rates. It is therefore not necessary to possess the gift of foresight to predict that the meeting of the leaders of the seven most important democratic industrial nations will again end with wordy and reassuring...
Dozens of sign-carrying demonstrators dodged rush-hour traffic in downtown Memphis to pass out leaflets to motorists. Ron Thomas, a clean-cut Memphis State University junior, wore a sheet and a homemade death mask for the event. "I call myself a Christian," he says, "and if I'm really serious about the religious commands of peace, then I felt I had to do something about nuclear weapons." At Yale, 1,000 people filled the university chapel to hear Evangelist Billy Graham, a very recent convert to the cause, denounce nuclear war as the ultimate sin. In Rochester, Mich...
