...Jimmy,' and by God she's good at it! The force of her conviction comes through." Said Dallas Political Consultant Judy Bonner Amps: "You can't help but like the woman. She's attractive, charming, intelligent and totally committed to Jimmy. People eat up that sort of thing." In the grueling midday sun she toured places like a Harlingen health clinic, where she was given a Nuestra Hermana en Salud (Our Sister in Health) award, and she inspected a Fort Worth Y.M.C.A. camp with programs for the handicapped, where she took her turn on the obstacle...
...keyed-up, pulp-writer's sense of poetry, an incredibly imaginative and powerful manipulation of cutting rhythms and camera movement--and a wide streak of sadism. His films have been highly influential to Godard, among others, whose praise and tribute has lifted Fuller to a sort of cult status. Shock Corridor--starring no one you've ever heard of before--concerns a journalist who, in hopes of earning a Pulitzer prize, disguises himself as a patient in an insane asylum to discover the identity of a murderer hiding there.

...back. Both offer again pretty much the same bill of fare, without the single tune that snags your ear straight off and streamlines the journey to the Top Ten. The Cars, a Boston band, go big for flash, echo and cosmic inconclusion. Dire Straits are English and purvey a sort of oblique narrative rock so relaxed and laid back, with its easygoing guitar licks and sleepytime vocals, that the record could have been recorded live in a hammock...
...exemplars of the two extremes of rock vocal styles, contemporary female division. Lovich seems to have tak en vocal seminars from Nico and Patti Smith. Her songs (many co-written by Lovich) are feckless threnodies about lovelessness, entrapment and alienation. Sweet, who is sunnier in disposition, lays down a sort of teasing, jailbait rock that relies on snappy melodies and gum-cracking sensuality...
