...very blunt" note to Indian Prime Minister Morarji Desai about his nuclear policy. The dinner in the same capital dominated by a singleminded flycatcher who hovered behind Carter until -swat!-he nailed his prey and plucked it daintily from the linen. The Secret Service walkie-talkie conversations that somehow got broadcast over a microphone in the Casino de Paris in the midst of rehearsals by topless cancan dancers. All in all, said the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Carter has "proved that he can do with words what Gerald Ford used to do with his forehead against door sills...

Redford is adorable, but when they enriched that handsome hunk of white bread, they somehow left out the mythic minerals. Nicholson is a wise guy, a kind of Bogart manqué, who has not yet touched the darker depths that the screen's first, and greatest, existential hero suggested he knew. Hoffman is short, nasal and urban; set him against a big American...
