...film, which has a "relatively large budget," according to Ritchie, will portray the murder of three civil rights workers in Mississippi in 1964. The killing was conceived and carried out by two dozen leading citizens of Meridian and Neshoba counties, including lawmen, clergymen and businessmen...
Jesse Jackson is somebody all right. He 'has a host of adoring admirers as well as caustic critics. But he is still too young to assume a black leadership role on a national scale. He rightfully resents white journalists who portray him as the heir to King or the rival to Abernathy. If S.C.L.C. were to seek a new leader today, the Atlanta-based organization would not be apt to reach outside the South. Until he decided to run for Congress, the most likely

Petronius could only describe the obscenity of the banquet staged by Trimalchio, the nouveau riche. Fellini could portray it as a vignette of Rome at the end of its parabola of grandeur, complete with elaborate jokes and hoaxes. It is an occasion as bizarre and funny as the film's conclusion-in which a lady leaves a fortune to friends, with the proviso that they dissect her corpse...
