...hospital where Hussain worked from August 10 until the warrant for his arrested was issued last week, said letters of recommendation for Hussain written by Harvard-affiliated doctors did not mention Hussain's rape conviction. "The letters were amazing--they made him sound like he was next to Superman--and they definitely did not mention his past record," Thomas Sulivan, director of community relations for Buffalo Children's Hospital, said last week. The Harvard doctors who wrote the favorable recommendations and Medical School officials have declined to comment on the letters. Later in the week, the Massachusetts Medical Society said...
...shame that this movie is so bad, because, as remakes of old serials go, this one certainly has potential--certainly as much as Superman did. But because of director-cinematographer John Derek's egomaniacal insistance that his wife always remain on screen, the story of Tarzan is lost.

At the White House they receive an unconditional surrender from a cowering President (who looks alarmingly like Sen. Howard Baker of Tennessee), and aided by the enterprising earth-bound villian, Lex Luthor, they set out to find the only being standing between them and a happy reign of pain and degredation...
...there are a lot of silly scenes and ridiculous holes in the plot of Superman II. But somehow they don't seem that annoying. This is not a movie worthy of detailed analysis; its very frivolity is its greatest strength. And as the house lights go up and the little kid spills the remains of his popcorn on your shoes, you'll find yourself surprisingly satisfied that Superman did go for it after...
