Most good ole Southern boys, in times of trouble and turmoil, strive to affect an air of bold insouciance. Few can match the macho mood of Bert Lance. Since his forced resignation as budget boss last September, Lance has continued to have the ear of his friend Jimmy Carter, and he is not shy in flaunting his special status to prospective business partners. He has trotted around the world flourishing Diplomatic Passport X-000065, which allowed him to bypass customs and which the White House intervened to keep for him.

Gregory Peck is well-meaning, but as animated as a potted plant, and the rest of the cast is colorless until their respective bloody deaths. Why is it that these movies strive to be so serious, devoid of lyricism or wit? There's nothing more terrifying than the unseen, but in "The Omen," we can even see the producers counting their money. A big hit in '76, with a sequel due this summer. To hell with...
