...agree. "I don't see how the President can grant the relief we recommended," says a high official of the ITC with refreshing candor. By law, he notes, the commission can consider only whether domestic industries are in fact being hurt by foreign competition and what sort of restrictions on imports would be sufficient to repair the damage. "If the ITC had to take into account the impact on consumers or on foreign relations, it would have recommended differently." The President, of course, must weigh those issues and, as he and his advisers do so, they are finding compelling...
Public Outrage. More seriously, at least half a dozen bills were introduced into the House last week either to override the ban on saccharin or, more generally, to amend the Delaney amendment so that the FDA can apply some sort of "reasonableness test" to the results of experiments like those on the saccharin-stuffed rats. There is little sentiment to repeal the Delaney amendment outright or to write detailed standards for the FDA to follow.

Except for the solid, winning craftsmanship of Brigitte Mira in the title role, the picture is at once forced and slapdash. Fassbinder is restless in an uninspired sort of way with his camera-as if he distrusts the holding power of the dialogue and the situations he is covering. And well he might be. Whether from left or right, there is something terribly predictable about the way Mother Kusters' tormentors reveal their duplicity. The film makes all the right comments about what is wrong with a lot of things these days, but it does not speak very artfully about...
...didn't star in any of their art films, did you?" the pathologically jealous French instructor says, interrogating his coy step-daughter. That's the school of "art" to which Heart Throbs belongs: the sort you might judge to be of considerable artistic merit--unless someone you knew were mixed up in them...
