...danger in our present success lies down the road -when oil once again runs scarce, or the Social Security system must pay its way, or there is the threat of war. Then we may wish we had got a clearer view of the would-be Presidents. But now, with only muted adversaries in the Communist world, quiet ghettos and more food than we can eat, the call for that proverbial man on horseback lacks conviction and urgency. If a single one of the men who want to be President has dimensions of greatness, he has hardly been able to demonstrate...
This time, however, the D.C. is being challenged as never before. The very success of the party in transforming Italy into a modern industrial country has raised expectations that it has not been able to fulfill, especially in the recent enduring recession. Moreover, D.C. governments have lately proved unable to solve a host of economic and social problems: rampant inflation, a sagging lira, mounting national debt, 7% unemployment, inadequate transportation, hospital care and public housing.

It is notable mainly as the first in what promises to be an infestation of Jaws sequels, rip-offs and derivations. Universal is presently at work on the official reprise, Jaws II. Other studios will soon bring forth films about marauding crocodiles, deadly swarms of bees, a car - apparently driverless- that terrorizes a small town, and a plague of earthworms, this last called Squirm. Most of these items hold little promise...
