Lila's mistake is to burn herself under the Miami sun to the point of immobilization, leaving Lenny free to explore the delights and terrors of the Gentile world. He falls madly in love with Kelly Corcoran (Cybill Shepherd), a nymphet whose sleek beauty and poise draw him all the way to her Minnesota home--and to a hurried divorce from Lila. Lenny's main obstacle to winning Kelly's hand is her father, terrifying portrayed by Eddie Albert, a sort of Old Testament God who threatens to wreak an "ass kicking" on Lenny if he doesn't leave...

It consists of four sculptural units: "The Basic Chassis" made of wood, "The Master Chassis" made of half-inch steel tubing, and "The Stainless Steel Body" and "The Fabric Steel Body" mounted on dummy chassis.

Its critics argue that considering the extraordinary cost of the F-111 ($15.1 million each) and the supposed sophistication of its defensive and safety devices, it has a strange propensity for disappearing during combat missions. The critics would seem to have a case. In 1968, the aardvark-nosed fighter-bombers were taken off combat missions and later shipped home from Viet Nam after three were lost in four weeks of combat...
