That will help cool any White House session with the Soviets. But the sooner Carter returns the expected Brezhnev visit and gets himself to the Kremlin, the better off we all will be. Carter may have an inkling about that. When he greeted Teng on the South Lawn of the White House last week, he dragged out that old Chinese proverb: "Seeing once is worth more than 100 descriptions...
Carroll was off blithely chairing a Georgia training session for new Governors when Stovall seized the executive reins to call a special session of the legislature. It would, she decreed, face up to the state's tax burden. Moreover, she had a program of her own: end the state taxes on water and heating fuel for residences; lower the state income tax; freeze almost all property taxes; reduce the escalating fines for traffic tickets...

One of the better scenes takes place in a group therapy session, in which the other cons (most of them actually inmates at the Rockview State Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania, where the film was shot) goad Juleson into talking about his wife...
