...train at a way station; if he will mark our faces, stripped by anxiety of their self-possession; if he will appraise our luggage, our clothing, and look out of the window to see who has driven us to the station; if he will listen to the harsh or tender things we say if we are with our families, or notice the way we put our suitcase onto the rack, check the position of our wallet, our key ring, and wipe the sweat off the back of our necks; if he can judge sensibly the selfimportance, diffidence, or sadness with...
...will be lucky to grab second place at the season's end. Philadelphia virtually locked up the championship with the Jones for McGinnis swap, provided Julius Erving can still do it, ABA-style. The Knicks are good on paper, and will be good if the paper is legal tender and given to Monroe and Jim McMillian. The Celtics will reach .500 only if opposing teams refuse to play while Dave Cowens is out. With Kevin Porter traded to Detroit for Eric Money, the Nets need a play maker who can bounce the ball as well as they bounce checks...
...there are disappointments on the album, especially a remake of the Elvis Presley classic "Love Me Tender." Ronstadt's stab at the tune is too polished, too slick to work well. She obliterated Presley's rough edges and raw power. "Blowing Away," a lethargic, mournful ballad in which producer-manager Asher sings background, dies before it starts, lacking the poignancy that makes Ronstadt's slowest songs click. A 1934 Oscar Hammerstein song, "When I Grow Too Old to Dream," despite a pretty electric piano line, also falls short. Ronstadt plays with a cutesy, childlike voice which makes the song sound...
Across Lafayette Park on foot. Joggers, pigeons, fresh chrysanthemums (Lady Bird's tender touch). Good morning to Andrew Jackson on bronze horse. Looks more chipper. White House whiter than white in first rays. Godfrey Sperling, Christian Science Monitor's journalistic breakfast impresario, leading 38 colleagues up to front door just like wanted guests. No Marine Band in the foyer, but can almost hear a Sousa march as we proceed into State Dining Room. Elegant E-shaped table with cut fall flowers. Feel like Congressmen with votes in pockets. Orange juice at door for quick fix. Eggs (poached...
...previously unknown actress, Steenburgen accomplishes the impressive feat of holding her own with Nicholson: she tosses off cool sallies to counter his lunatic riffs. When they finally fall in love, the couple make a surprisingly tender pair. In much smaller parts, John Belushi, Christopher Lloyd and Jeff Morris have splendid moments as varmints who give new life to the word mangy. Nicholson never lets anyone in the cast, him self included, go overboard...
