...short, Andy Schmidt is a showoff, a permanent elbow in the eye of polite society. One can only be awed by the comic daring of everyone concerned with The One and Only for trying to make such a character appealing for the length of a movie. The One and Only does not quite make it, because even as portrayed by the likable Henry Winkler, Andy is finally a tiresome fellow. But the effort is a game one, and there is a certain originality about the fate that the film works out for Andy. Having failed as an actor...
...charges, both governments were avoiding actions that would lead to an open break. Dismissing the manifesto as a mere "atmospheric disturbance," the East German official envoy in Bonn, Michael Kohl, declared that the Communists "retain their interest in a continued improvement of relations." Last week West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt stated soothingly that he felt the East German leadership "intends to continue the process of relaxation of tensions."

...Sales of textiles, a major export, are off 3% from last year. Makers of machine tools, who normally export three-fourths of their production, are reduced to hoping that they can close the year with no more than a 20% drop in exports from 1976. West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt has fumed privately to friends that in letting the dollar fall Washington has shown itself to be bereft of "the slightest economic sense." Switzerland's Weltwoche magazine complains: "Using the dollar weapon, America is waging a real trade war, a war against its friends." If the slide continues...
