...RABBIT HAS suffered greatly at the hands of Hugh Hefner. Even before Hefner clongated it, stuffed it-into a smoking jacket, and plastered it all over the newsstands and his DC-9, the rabbit's reputation rested mainly on a swift (wham, bam, thank-you ma'am), productive (litters the year round) procreation. Then Hefner air-brushed its aura and made the rabbit the symbol of his whole slick fantasy world. But when you're inventing fantasy to entertain your children during a long, boring car trip you leave out the details that enrapture the slavering American male. You retrograde...
...bite the king on the ankle. Then there are the guardians of a sacred forest who demand a tribute of shrubbery -something with "a nice layered effect"-before allowing Arthur and his party to pass. That, of course, only brings them closer to such perils as a murderous bunny rabbit who is improbably but effectively charged with defending a cave where a vital clue to the grail's whereabouts is located. Bunnies indeed are much on the Python group's mind. One of the stratagems that the heroes devise to gain access to the French castle...

Likening the speed curb to Prohibition, "which made criminals of us all," the ebullient Yates, who pooh-poohs the energy crisis, reasons that speed limits are "at best hypocritical, at the worst specious." In the spirit of Erwin George ("Cannonball") Baker, a fabled driver...
...President Franklin Roosevelt, had been specially shipped in for the premiere from its permanent display place in Niagara Falls, Canada. "I'd love to have it for city driving," quipped Gazzara, who came to the screening decked out in a Capone-style pin-stripe suit, full-length rabbit coat, and half of the extra 20 lbs. he had put on for his role. The fans seemed more interested in the limo than the leading man; after giving Gazzara a polite moment of applause, they quickly crowded round for a close look at the $150,000 mobstermobile...
