Across the U.S., as citizens struggle with the irritation of gas lines and dollar-a-gallon prices, a large number persist in believing that the whole mess has been deliberately contrived by the oil companies, aided and abetted by Government collusion or ineptitude. Washington in fact cannot evade the charge of bungling. A few weeks ago the Department of Energy was predicting that gasoline supplies would be more plentiful in June than in May. Now officials confess that they have no idea how much gas drivers can count on buying for the rest of the month, the summer, the year...
Turkish terrorism comes in two varieties. By far the greatest number of victims have died in an ongoing war between extremists of the far left and the far right.

Accordingly, Interiors marks the crucial point in Allen's directorial evolution, expressing much of the script's meaning through purely auditory/visual means instead of via dramatic situations, mise-en-scene, dialogue and acting. Like Chaplin (in A Woman of Paris ), Allen...
...floor for hours on end. At the Education School's Gutman Library the walls are as brightly colored as a modern elementary school's, but the chairs are comfy. If you own a briefcase you'll look like everyone else at Baker Library at the Business School, but a number of undergraduates swear by it. The Public Affairs Library at the Kennedy School of Government is best for lounging and reading newspapers...
