Another Columbia movie that has done fairly well is The Electric Horseman, a kind of rope opera about an ex-rodeo star's rebellion against commercial exploitation of him and a nag. Though the picture, which cost $18 million including publicity, grossed $14.25 million in its first twelve days, it has not had nearly the drawing power the studio hoped it would, given the luster of its two stars, Robert Redford and Jane Fonda.

The West Germans, fearing inflation, resisted so sternly that the best the U.S. has managed is an agreement under which Washington and Bonn will stop calling each other names in public...
