...Dover, teams of military pathologists, FBI technicians and civilian embalmers worked to identify the 911 corpses (the count now seemed official and final) and prepare them for burial or cremation. Yet the condition of the remains and the lack of fingerprint records for many victims meant the process was slow-and in many cases would prove futile. Autopsies were to be conducted on seven bodies: Cult Leader Jim Jones, Cult Physician Larry Schacht and five others selected at random. Officials decided that trying to pin down the precise cause of death for all victims would be impractical and pointless...

Secretary of State Cyrus Vance announced last week that the slow-moving talks would resume at an unspecified date. But the issue of linkage-that is, relating Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula to political changes for the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip-remains a major stumbling block...

...pleasant as The Brink's Job is, one does miss some of the energy that Friedkin brings to his meaner movies. This film's exposition is too slow by half; the Brink's robbery itself is amusing without ever really being suspenseful. Perhaps some day both William Friedkins will converge in a single movie. When and if that happens, this gifted but divided craftsman will finally become a major film maker. - Frank Rich
