...shots of his incredibly bad teeth--but revealing...ah hah, this is art now mind you...masks within masks. You see, Dylan doesn't play Dylan in this film; corpulent Ronnie Hawkins does. Dylan plays Renaldo, a somewhat logical cross between the Jack of Hearts and the lone rider of "Romance in Durango"--"Hot chile peppers in the blistering sun/Dust in my face..." Sara Loundes Dylan plays Clara, while Ronnie Blakelee plays Mrs. Dylan, and Joan Baez is the Woman in White. Basically, this is the movie--it appears nothing was planned, nothing "directed," and the cinema verite...
...idea of tax credits. Growing support in the House may force the power-wielders to permit a vote on the issue although some Congressional aides say the House would prefer to deal with the tax credit as part of a big, upcoming tax bill rather than as an unrelated rider to the wool tariff bill. The student aid package passed out of the House Committee on Education and Labor last week, and an aide for the committee said she expects a vote in the House next week...
...prospect of traveling home via Amtrak looms large for many students from the Northeast Corridor. The federally-sponsored and seemingly always-bankrupt railroad has a unique sort of charm.

Among other advances, it has computer-controlled wings that automatically change shape during tight, fast moves, allowing a pilot to shake off a pursuing plane and most missiles in wrenching...
...successfully (to run alongside such other hits as the shamelessly treacly Annie and Neil Simon's latest domestic frolic, Chapter Two). Movie fans are in tune too: having rejoiced not long ago over a fable of apocalypse like Dr. Strangelove and a parable of triumphant evil like Easy Rider, they are today cheering over a heart-grabbing fable like Rocky and a simple-minded parable of triumphant good like Star Wars. Certainly the romantic mood appears, if somewhat dissembled, in the reading habits of the American woman; after years of listening to liberationists, she is devouring the adventures...
