...space program? Dieter Kolff and his fellow scientists leading America's effort to catch up with the Soviets and put a man into orbit. Astronaut John Pope making his spectacular walk in space. And, of course, that historic Apollo landing on the dark side of the moon and its terrifying brush with disaster...
...moment, it is Bogdanovich who feels disposable. He has his biggest hit since Paper Moon a dozen years ago, yet he has virtually disowned Mask. Seems Producer Martin Starger cut two scenes from the film and replaced music by Bruce Springsteen (Rocky's favorite rock star) with four Bob Seger songs.

In the past year, for example, 7,000 clergy have been courted at all-expenses-paid Unification seminars in the Caribbean, Europe and Asia, as well as at U.S. sites. Moon- related scientific conferences have tried to win prestige by signing up Nobel scholars, while a Unification-backed anti-Communist agency seeks allies among fundamentalists. Capitalizing on its ownership of the daily Washington Times and New York Tribune, the Moon movement has run junkets for hundreds of journalists to soften media hostility...
