...that's what is so disappointing here. A lot of hard work was put to waste trying to save Savages. Trevor Barnes's West dominates all the other actors with his fine mellifluous voice throughout his interesting performance. Horwitz as the revolutionary Carlos almost overcomes his hopelessly shallow part, although he occasionally stumbles over a Spanish accent that sounds too patently bogus for the audience to swallow. And Don Pullam comes up with a truly excellent performance in his one scene as an irredeemably culture-bound idiot-missionary bringing civilization to the heathen. The tribe of otherwise Stone-Age Indians...

"My Life" and "Zanzibar" also set shallow words to fine music. The former mixes bold, upbeat instrumentals with creative back-up vocals from Chicago's Peter Cetera and Donnie Decus. The latter experiments with some faint Latin rhythm and a few typical Steely Dan cliches, mixing in a fine jazz trumpet solo by Freddie Hubbard...

We Black students are too proud of who we are to allow ourselves to be taken in by shallow, uninformed criticism. You make us laugh as we read the contents of your article, yet we cry inside to see that there are Black people among us whom we want to be able to, and should be able to look up to, yet are unrighteously and disrespectfully abused...
