...aviation ended at 3:25 p.m. on Oct. 30, when TWA Flight 4, the last Boeing 707 to fly for a scheduled airline in the continental U.S., touched down at New York City's Kennedy International Airport. During its 2-hr. 40-min. flight from Miami, the jet's 79 passengers ceremoniously sipped champagne. Before disembarking, the travelers stripped the aircraft of most detachable memorabilia, including seat-number plaques and safety instruction cards. Flight attendants used their lipsticks to write "Goodbye, we love you" on walls and seats. On the plane's silver fuselage a Miami gate...
Even in its horrendously truncated U.S. version (some 40 min. have been cut), Possession is a more engaging movie than it has any right to be. Zulawski's images are attractively dour: gray and brown, with the only assertive color an occasional shock of blood red. Adjani is a sullen ravisher, gorgeous and half bonkers.

...After will not be broadcast until Nov. 20, but its political implications have already been discussed, denounced and championed by proponents and opponents of the nuclear freeze.

...citizen, Bob Swan, member of the antinuke Let Lawrence Live organization, says he is trying to link up his home town by television or telephone to Leningrad, so that Soviets and Americans can hash things out person to person. After the broadcast, ABC will put on a special 45-min. edition of Viewpoint, anchored by Ted Koppel. The show, intended as both a kind of emotional decompression chamber for viewers and a debating platform between friends and foes of the freeze, has an additional, and certainly not accidental, function. It gives The Day After the weight of a major news...
...people here, only targets, stick figures on a Midwestern landscape waiting to be wasted. A kind of predictable character collage revolving erratically around the travails of Robards' nicely realized surgeon, the movie misses dramatic force because it has no center. It does, however, have a centerpiece, a 4-min. sequence representing the atomization of Middle America and, by extension, much of the rest of the world...
