...company has been found guilty of threatening union supporters. It has violated the law by refusing to employ relatives of union sympathizers. It was found guilty of widespread racial and sexual discrimination in its hiring, promotion, and pay practices in a 1975 case in Roanoke Rapids.

...Greening of America, Charles Reich offered the giddy prediction that the values of the 1960s counterculture would remake America. Although his thesis was vastly overstated, those values are indeed becoming widespread.

There are plenty of one-liners about the classic anti-hero's copelessness in sexual and other matters as Allen dips once again into the comic capital that he has been living off for years. It is, however, the best measure of this movie's other strengths that even when these gags are very good, they often seem unnecessary and intrusive: mood busters...
