...Mark is swimming with more confidence than ever before," says former Olympic Champion Murray Rose. "In the long run, I think those setbacks at Mexico City were good for him." Maturity may well be the answer to Spitz's comeback. By the time he was 18, he had won 26 national and international titles, broken ten world and 28 U.S. records. Everyone expected him to replace Schollander, who won four gold medals in 1964, as the U.S. team's one-man gang in Mexico City. After his disappointing Olympic performance, he underwent some agonizing reappraisals. "I realized that...
Those nuts were well rewarded. The evening had been billed as one of "jazz for the connoiseur." It was actually more of a jazz potpourri.

Hoffman and his co-film maker Jonathan Gordon focus blurrily on a corpulent little insurance hustler from Long Island named Murray King. In the cinéma vérité manner, they track him with camera and sound equipment from his office through some endless conferences to a business vacation at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, all the while mocking their subject and his legion of clients, chippies and hangers-on. Despite the documentary pretense, it turns out that many of the scenes were staged expressly for the film. Only diehard viewers who survive to the last few frames...
