...this encounter of East and West, the rage on either side has a way of spiraling up in a murderous double helix: the anger of the Muslims may feed on itself, and the countering anger of the West may further ignite the anger of Islam.

Although U.S. reactions have been, all things considered, remarkably mild, the Iranian crisis has legitimized among Americans a new stereotype of the demented Muslim.

Karl Maiden stomps through the film in such a rage that you would think a hotel had refused to honor his traveler's checks. When the comet's "splinters" finally hit earth, wiping out a Swiss ski resort and a drive-in theater in Pisa, all Meteor can sum mon up is a few flashes of red light...
