...movie has three types of scenes: briefing scenes, bombing scenes and tearoom scenes. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish among them because every set in the film, indoors and out, is flooded with mist. The sound track is inundated with John Barry's crashing score, next to which Michel Legrand's florid music for Summer of '42 sounds like Hindemith. Yet the plot does somehow manage to emerge. About halfway into Hanover Street, both of the heroine's men end up on the same-secret intelligence mission behind enemy lines in France. Things get tense...
...losing 4-1 in a rout so thorough that fans in the Montreal Forum could not believe their eyes. Nor could the Montreal players believe their ears. Ken Dryden, the league's top goaltender for the past three years, was booed out of the nets and replaced by Michel ("Bunny") Larocque. Defenseman Larry Robinson, a 6-ft. 3-in. version of the legendary Bobby Orr, suffered a special torture. He was confronted by tactics that Ranger Coach Fred Shero devised when directing the Philadelphia Flyers against Orr's Boston Bruins in the 1974 Cup finals...
...wigs make them resemble Bert Lahr playing the Cowardly Lion. When she leans back and says lovingly to poor, scoldy Alceste, "How boring you are!" while deliciously wriggling her toes, the night belongs to France.

He speaks his verse, perfectly balancing form against feeling, never missing a beat...
...some corporations are sure raking it in. April's shower of proxy statements reveals that a few fortunate chiefs are drawing record payments of salary, bonus and benefits: $1.7 million to Revlon's Michel C. Bergerac, for example, and $2.5 million to Warner Communications' Steven J. Ross. Alan Ladd Jr., the dollar scion of a departed Hollywood heman, collected $1.9 million last year as president of the 20th Century-Fox movie division, mostly in the form of a bonus for having had the shrewd sense (or good luck) to make Star Wars. Ford Motor had three...
Barre's attempts to follow the West German example have provoked an alarming resurgence of anti-German rhetoric. Michel Debre, who served as De Gaulle's Premier from 1959 to 1962, blamed France's economic troubles on the European Community, which is "too easily manipulated by our German competitors−I say competitors, not partners." The Communists have been even more demagogic. "What the Germans couldn't get in 1914 and 1939 they are conquering today," complained Jean Gillet, a member of the Communist-dominated CGT union...
