Most films from Sweden are either saturated with sex or infatuated with Ingmar Bergman, or both. In two mettlesome new movies, a pair of little-known Swedish directors make no effort whatever to change the subject, which is still man-woman-mattress, but they owe little more to Bergman than full-bodied performances by several of his favorite actors. Both films display a strong personal style, evidence that Sweden's movie industry may be thriving on an infusion of warm blood...
...Mayor's proposals, bluntly stated his opinion of the report yesterday: "It's just another power grab by Collins."

Freely translated, it means run, run, run and never, never miss. A perfectionist rather than an innovator, Rupp decries such newfangled tactics as the zone press defense which he sometimes uses but insists on calling a "stratified, transitional hyperbolic paraboloid." He relies on ten offensive plays, which his team practices with a devotion to duty unseen since the Spartans of ancient Greece...
