...FIRST FIVE MINUTES of the new Dracula, Frank Langella literally rips out a man's throat, and you know nobody's gonna pull no punches this time. Let the tide of bloody dead babies commence: let there be impalings, gougings, slashings, stakings, necks broken with an appetizing CRRRUNNCHH in Dolby stereo, John Williams conducting the London Symphony Orchestra, repeating the same goddamned nine-note musical motif like a lobotomized organ grinder, bats tearing faces and crucifixes burning the flesh of latex-scarred vampirellas. "It's a love story," explained Frank Langella...

...green tide of Watergate-writing cash keeps rolling on. John Dean's Blind Ambition crests in a four-part TV spectacular. Judge John Sirica's refreshingly unjuridical To Set the Record Straight surges onto the bestseller lists. Now comes John Ehrlichman's second novel, The Whole Truth, a racy Washington scandal spin-off aimed at reeling in a movie or TV contract, as did his first, The Company. More modestly, Leon Jaworski offers a spare memoir, Confession and Avoidance, his second Watergate book, which seems pitched in too low a key to unlock any box-office riches...
