Mirror, Mirror on the Wall comes with the last pages bound by a yellow paper band, slim but snug, that boasts that anyone who "can resist the startling ending" should return the book to the publishers, band still intact, for full reimbursement. Such a stunt may deflect attention from a contrived Freudian somersault about an attorney whose sordid sexual history makes a formidably damaging brief in his own nightmarish, fantasy trial for murder...
...least in his own re-election cause, although little was done to give the party a broader, more lasting base. The President must successfully isolate McGovern from the mainstream of the challenger's own party (which McGovern has already done to a great extent himself). Nixon also must resist the temptation to assail his opponent emotionally rather than logically. If he can do those things, it is very likely that he will win "four more years."

Even those still separated from their nearest neighbor by hectares of sage and pine are beginning to band together under the big skies to practice thinking small and muster the strength to resist or redirect the inevitable population growth. The old cowboys' plaint, "Don't fence me in," is fast giving way to the environmentalists' plea, "Please fence them out." Conservation groups fantasy building one-way overpasses straight through to Canada to keep Californians out of Oregon, or constructing an adobe wall around New Mexico to keep the Texans from straying in, and worse, staying...
...Other begins with a shimmery shot of one of the twin protagonists (played by Chris and Martin Udvarnoky) playing alone in the woods, the sun filtering down through the trees in that peculiarly captivating way that no cameraman can resist. The focus is misty and offputting: who of the audience who came for a thriller wants two indistinguishable twins romping in the woods...
