TIME'S article "Socialism: Trials and Errors" [March 13] presents an excellent defense for our present socioeconomic system against socialism. No nation, however, has adopted socialism as a result of victories in debates on the subject. Throughout history, the basic human rights have been the opportunity to obtain "food, shelter and clothing." When the existing system in a nation becomes unable to sustain those rights adequately for the majority of the people, history shows, some form of socialism inevitably has followed...
...could be a "leadership role" in the new Rhodesian regime for Nkomo and Mugabe if they agreed to return to the country in peace. The chances for that seem remote, given the Patriotic Front's past denunciations of the internal settlement. But that agreement, Sithole maintains, is not subject to change.

Heroine Tisa Farrow speaks as if she were a spaced-out extra on furlough from Blow-Up. Jim Brown, the subject of a 1971 Toback book, is on hand only to act out the script's juvenile racial-sexual fantasies. As the hero, a schizo prone to gesturing with his mouth while banging at the keyboard, Keitel gives the first terrible performance of his career. He is such a bundle...
