...central issue in this battle, as in most Washington disputes, is money. Pentagon budget planners accuse the Navy of waste and mismanagement and of failing to set priorities among its various missions. The Navy's $41 billion slice of next year's proposed $126 billion defense budget is the largest allotted any individual military service and is an increase over this year's $39.5 billion. The admirals, however, are not satisfied. They correctly complain that inflation will turn this modest increase into an actual reduction.

...another and learn to adjust to each other's differences, there is a certain reservoir of tension between them that can never be resolved, not even in the film's closing shot of their final embrace. If, on the other hand, the film tries to represent a 'slice of life,' a sampling of the ghetto experience, then it succeeds. The unrefined and somewhat static nature of the characters can only add plausibility to what can loosely be terned a naturalistic film...
