...they unusual. There are at least 360,000 men, women and youngsters behind bars in the U.S. today, and before the year ends, perhaps as many as a thousand will die there, many of conditions that would be considered both treatable and curable outside the walls. Thousands more will suffer from illness and discomfort so needless that they amount to cruel and unusual punishment. With few exceptions, inmates of the nation's correctional institutions must either go without medical care entirely or make do with treatment that is far below accepted standards...
...called entertainment is never really entertaining. A couple of solid citizens, Yaphet Kotto and Geoffrey Holder, are underemployed as an island dictator cum pusher and his witchdoctor hireling while Jane Seymour, Gloria Hendry and Madeline Smith are comely enough but curiously sexless sex objects.

Australians barely had time...
...American prices go up, the greater the loss of faith in the dollar and the quicker dollars flow out of the U.S. into stronger currencies, worsening the U.S. balance of payments. To some extent, the concern of overseas countries may represent a holier-than-thou attitude; Europe and Japan suffer roaring inflations of their own. Yet the U.S., after posting one of the lowest inflation rates of any industrialized country during 1972, has made the unhappy switch to catching up with many of its trade partners...
