...name of Evil (presumably the derivation of Eve) as a result. In short, the situation in paradise runs refreshingly amok for a while. So it's sort of disappointing when propriety quashes revisionism, becoming one of the foundations of society after all, as woman succumbs to her proper domestic role and man regains his respectability, despite the cuckolding...
...Nixon is going to remain very much in the public eye for a while. On Thursday he will perform at his best, describing for Frost his role in the big power politics of dealing with China, Russia, SALT and the Middle East. Following that, in successive weeks, will be the interviews on the war in Southeast Asia, as well as the dissent at home, and his final days in office.

Auto companies did best of all; the four in the list raised their median profit by 138.5%, despite another huge loss for American Motors.

...been given many redeeming sweetnesses that were not present in the book's portrayal of a hard, turned-in man who had, it seemed, come out to only one person, a low-caste wife. Candice Bergen is strangely cast as the wife in the film, playing the role with her hair colored a deglamorizing brown. But her scenes with Hackman have neither flair nor fire, and their love seems merely fabricated to satisfy a movie convention...
