Then, in addition to a permanent staff and the part-timers, there is a category of "senior fellows," who often undertake research projects. Among the senior fellows are Laurence Silberman, a former Deputy Attorney General; John Robson, former chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board; and-oh, yes-one Gerald R. Ford, the institute's only "distinguished fellow." The former President, who maintains an office at the institute and draws $40,000 a year from A.E.I., will participate in seminars or conferences at ten colleges and universities this fall under A.E.I. auspices. For further prestige, A.E.I. can boast the consulting...
Cassavetes did not skip hot off the pop "victimization" bandwagon, as Kael claims. He's not a John Guillerman or a Mark Robson--the directors of The Towering Inferno and Earthquake, respectively--who each latched on to the season's big destruction bust, star-studding their creations for box office insurance. He just doesn't see films that...

...P.O.W. wives waiting out the war in a Florida military town. Although filmed on location, the movie could have been ground out on the back lot of Universal City for all the sense of place- or just sense- that it displays. In his eagerness to cast unknowns, Director Mark Robson must have passed over some good actors. Most of his energies, and those of Scenarists Joan Silver and James Bridges, seem to have been poured into creating stereotypes with whom every member of the audience could identify, no matter what their politics. There is a bitter, continuously frustrated campaigner against...
There is little to boast of here. The original play has been transported to the screen apparently by moving van. The sets might pass muster on a stage but look like pasteboard before the camera lens. Director Mark Robson records the action from a static position corresponding to front row center. The actors pass before the camera, mouthing lines of thimble-witted dialogue ("There stand the loins from which you sprang"; "Everything you do is so tragically irrelevant") that are open pleas for some heavy editing...
