...carnage upon atrocity. Black bears were slaughtered at a Michigan garbage dump by tourists with rifles. A gang of rednecks with the latest electronic gear treed a bear, then watched hounds rip it apart. Explained the pack's leader: "We feel that they deserve a chew." A pert stewardess plunked down $500 to "harvest" her first buffalo; then she pointed to the hoofs: "Jim, did I want those for footstools?" In the program's grossest scene, a languorous fallow deer was shot seven times at pointblank range; then a burly rifleman grasped the antlers for his mandatory macho...
...fact, Charlie Finley was just starting to warm up. By the time his Braniff plane landed in Kansas City, where his A's were playing the Royals, Finley had invited half the first-class passengers to be his guests at the game. A stewardess, tickled by his flattery ("Hey, baby, you look great"), had bestowed a farewell kiss, and a leading Kansas City lawyer had offered to drive Finley to Royals Stadium.

Only Larry Gates, doubling as Polonius and the First Gravedigger, emerges from this fiasco with a modicum of merit...
Such defiantly unglamorous physical attributes might hamper the career of an aspiring stewardess on any regularly scheduled airline, but they have helped make Karen Black, 32, the busiest actress in Hollywood. She has just finished her sixth movie in the past two years, and last week she began work on her seventh, Alfred Hitchcock's Deceit. She has not sought out safe, sympathetic parts. She has played the teasing Faye Greener in The Day of the Locust, the honky-tonk waitress Rayette Dipesto in Five Easy Pieces, the low-down and libidinous Myrtle Wilson in The Great Gatsby...
