Soviets, West Germans, French and Japanese now spend a greater portion of their G.N.P.s on research than does the U.S. Indeed, the U.S. investment in research actually decreased during the early 1970s, primarily at the expense of "pure" science, which was considered less productive than applied science...
...that women suffer in the form of rape, they also suffer completely legal abuse in the courtroom--where rape victims are rarely presumed innocent. No argument there. Since this is by now a truism, director Lamont Johnson has the courage to make this one point unequivocally. The rest is pure, dumb contrivance: Stuart rapes Chris's little sister, Chris shoots him on the spot, and a contrite, now-sympathetic jury acquits her for her own crime of passion...
...anticipated the events that accidentally triggered Hua's appointment. Most extraordinary was the apparently spontaneous nature of the demonstrations that preceded the Politburo's decisions. The massive unruly crowds that gathered at T'ien An Men Square last Monday were celebrating Ch'ing Ming (meaning, pure and bright), China's traditional springtime festival for honoring the dead.

Inexplicably, the wreaths were removed, apparently by militiamen...
...marooned in space. Because they will not be equipped with the expensive space suits that are now being considered for the shuttle, passengers could zip themselves into the cheaper, airtight ball. As they crouch in fetal position, the ball, made of layers of synthetic fabrics, will be inflated with pure oxygen to its full 34-in. diameter. The passenger may find it a tight fit, but he (or she) will be able to look out on the world through a small peephole as the ball is towed by an astronaut in the weightlessness of space to the other ship...
...director over-confident. No attempt is made to dip beneath the surface of these men or their relationship, and, perhaps, there is nothing beneath the surface. But we never really know how much these men are driven by personal ambition, how much by moral vigor, how much by pure thrill of the chase. Do they even like each other? They never discuss the wider significance of the case or their handling of it, only tactics and never strategy. Deep Throat provides some of the comments that put events in context, but the film really tells us little about whether...
