Schrader cast Poor Richard as a giant, swaggering, vending-machine penis, the only item Frederick's of Hollywood doesn't carry, a French tickler with batteries.

Moreover, the outfit involved in last week's withdrawal, the Sixth Guards Tank Division, is rated by the Pentagon as the least capable of all the Soviet units in the Warsaw Pact countries. Essentially, say U.S. analysts, the much ballyhooed pullout is "strictly show business...
