...statement with more authority than the 37th President of the United States. Richard Nixon's career in American politics was a drama marked by breathtaking climbs to what he often called the "mountain-top," followed by precipitous plunges to the depths. Not many of his fellow citizens loved nun. Many respected and admired him. Perhaps just as many hated him. He labored under the handicap of being mysterious without being fascinating. His supporters saw him as shrewd enough to win elections and capable enough to run an efficient centrist-conservative Administration that would save the country from radical...

...last person in the world to deny the incredible sufferings of the Jewish people in Europe. I would also be the last person to deny the existence of anti-Semitism within the Arab world and Islam (although any honest Jew who knows the story of Joshua ben Nun, who destroyed the entire city of Jericho and all its inhabitants, must also admit the existence of racism in a number of Biblical stories--including that of the Amalekites).

Following in the prop wash of Airport, the movie Airport 1975 promises to have even more stars aboard. In the cast are Myrna Loy, Gloria Swanson, Karen Black, Charlton Heston, Efrem Zimbalist Jr.-and Pop Star Helen Reddy (I Am Woman), who makes her movie debut as a singing nun. In one scene, Reddy is seated at Washington's Dulles Airport next to Nun Martha Scott, who points out Celebrity Gloria Swanson, surrounded by the press. "She must be an actress," says Reddy. "Or worse," replies Scott. This dialogue seemed unconvincing to the first actress who was approached...

Attempts to retreat into softcore, like Deep Throat II, in which the explicit scenes are all off-camera, have failed. Nor have "religious" novelties like Not Just Another Woman, in which Porno Circuit Star Tina Russell plays a nun, or Him, about a homosexual with graphic Christ fantasies, provoked any big box office response.
