...other actors act out what's happening on the screen. Skits from Westerns, newscasts, british war movies and religious crusades follow one after another and plenty of fun is made of commercials. Marilyn Duchin, Stephen Benson and the others make the spoofs light and enjoyable while the three monitors quarrel through their conventional day at the office. The exceptional--really adorable--performance was by Laurie Glimcher who talks, flirts and whines at her office companions while she tries to decide whether or not she wants to go to the movies that night or have a late date with David Warner...
...hedging operations by such agribusiness giants as Ralston Purina and Quaker Oats, which trade in future contracts as a means of protecting themselves against possible inventory losses due to the frequently violent price fluctuations of farm goods. To an outsider the buying and selling seem like an explosive quarrel; traders scream at each other and gesture with their hands.

Directly or indirectly, the controversy could conceivably endanger a sizable part of Hughes' wealth-including $300 million tied up in his Nevada properties, $145 million in a lawsuit against Hughes by TWA, and $50 million in a suit by the former head of his Nevada operations, Robert Maheu. These stakes could affect the future of the entire Hughes empire, which encompasses more than 50,000 jobs and a fortune estimated at $2.5 billion...
...find themselves colliding along the way. Israel is at odds with the U.S., its closest friend and its only real source of weapons. Washington considers Jerusalem intransigent, while Israelis resent U.S. attempts to pressure them into negotiating with the Arabs, most notably by withholding 50 Phantom jet fighters. The quarrel has become so abrasive that Premier Golda Meir flew to Washington last week in an effort to resolve it directly with President Nixon...
