As the film opens, Max is hanging around the space station playing video games, listening to rock-and-roll, and watching video tapes of black-and-white Hollywood feature films from the last century.

But the less dramatic and still more serious case against the double-monsters lies in the damage that they and their single-trailer brothers do to the highways--damage brought home forcefully in Connecticut last year when a crumbling bridge on Interstate 95 fell in and took a woman's life with...
...Richard N. Cooper were also deemed untrustworthy by the list. With a large appropriation of money about to be given to the agency for a new worldwide video program, such McCarthyite tendencies must be nipped in the bud. But Brooks is generous when he says heads shouldn't roll--they most emphatically should...
