Klute. In 1971, Jane Fonda won an Oscar for this film. She didn't work in Hollywood again until 1976. It's good to have you back, Jane, but Klute almost sustained us through those barren years. Somehow thrillers where the characters matter seem richer in atmosphere and tension--and Fonda's Bree Daniels, the call-girl who is the object of a shadowy killer, involves us so totally that the girl-in-the-abandoned-warehouse routine at the end doesn't even appear schematic (well, it does, but we're still scared to death).

The public's mood, as Conable described it, is, "Quit all this talking about equity, and cut my taxes...
...city itself never achieved. Horace Walpole marveled at his "sublime dreams" and the way "he piles palaces on bridges, and temples on palaces, and scales Heaven with mountains of edifices." Piranesi's etchings sent a generation of leisured Europeans to Rome to see the real things. The richer among them went home and built readymade garden ruins of their...
