This movie, made virtually in tandem with Andy Warhol's Frankenstein (TIME, June 10), is not quite so spectacular: it is not, like Frankenstein, in migraine-inducing 3-D, and Director-Writer Morrissey goes a little easier on the gore. As a result, the movie is actually funnier-although Morrissey is never going to be a master of restraint...
...versatility. In running up a 6-3 record, New England stunned Miami, Los Angeles and Minnesota. The Patriots, who could do no better than win 20 of their last 70 games before this season, now have one of the highest-scoring offenses in the league. Their running tandem of Sam Cunningham and Mack Herron leads the N.F.L. in yardage, and no wonder.

Petersen (HP) on April 16, 1973. The overlap slipped by, and the two versions appeared in tandem in the published transcript as separate conversations. The error was not caught sooner because the versions differ so markedly, underscoring the House Judiciary Committee's argument that only the tapes will suffice as evidence in its impeachment inquiry. Comparisons of parts of the two versions...
