...assistant professor of English, who should have written more for the show, and much of the middle sections are written by Mark O'Donnell '76, who should have written less. Although many of O'Donnell's sketches are very funny (T.V. Weather Report: "Lots of dashed lines in the Northeast.") his talent is spread too thinly over the 14 pieces he authored or co-authored. It is the fault of the Premiere Society that they scraped 14 numbers out of O'Donnell's barrel and only three from Camor's. (Cantor also wrote a Richard Nixon for American Express commercial...

They went south, in search of cheap, exploitable, non-unionized workers. They found them, and have taken extraordinary measures to keep them that...
...Harlan County, USA, Barbara Kopple has produced a brilliant documentary about the people of the coalfields. The USA in the title is significant--to citizens of the Northeast, these hill people are as alien as citizens of the moon. Yet Kopple, a native New Yorker, has captured them and the life they lead with touching accuracy. Perhaps her job was made easier by the fact that people who work hard and suffer long have a shy, easy grace in front of a camera. But it's a painfully easy grace--born and nourished in suffering.
