...Soleri's liberated female workers decided to toil away barebreasted, and "every trucker on Interstate 17 found some reason to stop at Arcosanti." Stories about drugs and skinny-dipping in nearby Lynx Lake upset the many religious fundamentalists in a state where billboards proclaim that "the wages of sin is death...
There has been no room for anyone else in this select fraternity. The crusade of the Georgians had been against Washington, bigness, sin in public places and institutions as viewed and defined from Plains. Carter no longer wages war against the deductible three-martini lunch, but he has never reconciled himself to those who indulge. Nor is there any evidence that he has ever gone off secretly to contend, over dinner, with the forces of Washington outside the White House.

...Texas sun-looks like the last of the red hot Muppets. No matter: the camera loves Willie Nelson. In The Electric Horseman, he simply leaned back, squinted, expectorated a few down-home aphorisms and stole a scene or two from Robert Redford. Now Nelson has been fitted for a sin-and-suffer role out of a '30s weepie-the Leslie Howard part in Intermezzo, to be precise-and he wears it as comfortably as a pair of custom-made boots...
