Probably the best guide to manners in 1978 is The Amy Vanderbilt Complete Book of Etiquette, a Guide to Contemporary Living, Revised & Expanded by Letitia Baldrige (Doubleday, 879 pages, plain $10.95; thumb...
...similar fashion, Stallone throws in some gratuitous gore. He inflicts upon us the sight of blood and mucus dripping from Freddy the Thumper's nose during an arm-wrestling match with Victor. He had to do something to liven up the long and boring scene, but this does not work...
