...camera buffs, four dead dogs and 150 little people. (Make that 151: Carrie Fisher plays their den mother.) But Director Steve Rash's pacing is slack, the lighting is inappropriately murky, and eventually one tires of the endless string of tall stories and short-people jokes. Like Honky Tank Freeway, this movie is in desperate need of an ace farceur like Preston Sturges-and a niggardly accountant to ride herd on ballooning budgets...
...less damage to nearby buildings (see diagram). U.S. military planners say that small neutron warheads installed on howitzer shells or Lance missiles, which have ranges of 20 and 70 miles, respectively, are the best way to deter or counter the most feared conventional attack by Soviet forces: a massive tank assault across Central Europe. (Warsaw Pact countries have 44,000 tanks compared with NATO'S 11,000.) Said the President: "This weapon was particularly designed to offset the great superiority that the Soviet Union has on the Western front." The Reagan Administration plans to stockpile the neutron bombs...
NATO-in-Crisis (the calmer variant: NATO-in-Disarray) has for long years been a staple of journalism and think-tank colloquia.

And the attempt to show the pain and increasing psychosis of our young stud are grotesque--his sleep is haunted by dreams of his little jailbait which appear to have been filmed in a tank filled with Aqua Velva. Tricky camerawork spoken here--there aresaerial shots of the amatory action, which seem to have been shot by a helicopter circling the living room. The biggest technical problem must have been filming all the lovemaking without showing an inch of Brooke that a modest, one-piece...
...fish in that little pond is Baltimore Mayor William Donald Schaefer, 59. Seems hizzoner promised back in January that the city's new aquarium would be finished by July 4 or he "would jump in the tank." The Fourth came and went-and no completed aquarium. "I'm a man of my word," said Schaefer, and so, toting a rubber duckie and sporting a shoulder-to-knee Victorian bathing suit and a straw boater, the mayor walked the plank and plunked into the seal pool before 300 spectators. Will the aquarium open by Aug. 8, as now promised...
