...possible that a better cast could have read more dramatic tension between the lines. The one glimmer of hope in that direction comes from an outstanding job by Lin Kosy as a fantasy-spinning child. She takes a potentially pedestrian part and makes it fly, in a technically superb performance. Her fifteen-minute sequence is almost worth seeing for its own sake. But the remainder of the cast is undistinguished. Joanna Temple accentuates the already brittle, shrill tenor of Toni's role. Sheila Greene as Nina does little to pry her part loose from its rather uninspired box. Only Joan...
Bullard's superb game-winner came at the 14-minute mark of the second half. The sophomore striker received a pass from Steve Hines and outmaneuvered Ephman fullback Bob Samuelson. He then dribbled to within 20 yards of the goal and rocketed the ball into the upper portion of the net, cleanly beating goaltender Sid Grossman...
Martin Blumenson, who served in Patton's Third Army Headquarters during World War II and later as a scholar in the Army's Office of Chief of Military History, has done a superb job of editing Patton's diaries, letters, memos and speeches. He has also skillfully stitched them together with explanatory narrative.

The present volume begins in 1940 and ends with...
Dave Mason. A superb solo album had fans anxiously awaiting what ex-Traffic member Dave Mason had in store as a follow-up. Patience is admittedly a virtue but four years is a bit long to wait for any album. The disc was finally released after the resolution of numerous hassles with Mason's record company and although listenable, it was hardly on a per with its predecessor. His third release, which just came out a couple of days ago, seems to resemble the first in compositional quality as well as musicianship. That part is reassuring, at least...
...movie was directed by Richard Lester, a film maker of satiric skill and carbolic wit unsurpassed in the contemporary English-speaking cinema (Petulia, The Bed Sitting Room and the recent Three Musketeers). Lester is also a superb stylist, and he has made Juggernaut into a cunningly engineered entertainment, full of suspense. The Poseidon Adventure, by inevitable comparison, looks like something staged by a kid in his bathtub just before bedtime. Lester has done the calamity number about as well as it can be done. Why it has to be done at all is another matter...
