...Chicago last week, an arrest warrant was ordered for the Democratic nominee for Illinois secretary of state, LaRouchite Janice Hart. Judge Morris Topol accused Hart of "thumbing her nose at the court" by failing to appear on a disorderly conduct charge brought last year, when she purportedly disrupted a lecture by Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland. To protest the cleric's alleged support of the International Monetary Fund, a perennial LaRouche target, Hart handed Weakland a piece of raw liver, calling it a pound of flesh.

Superior even to the best of the group musical numbers are the near-slapstick comedy routines, especially those revolving around Steve Hill. Jon Linden and Richard Topol. Hill, equipped with one of the biggest, ugliest afros you're likely to encounter in the Square this summer, plays Bert Parks in a needle-sharp spoof of the Miss America pageant. The parody climaxes with the funky "Black Boys/White Boys," which addresses the sublime pleasures of interracial intercourse.

...enterprise. Carole Bouquet (23, long dark hair, Aegean-blue eyes, lissome frame) is the love interest, and more: a warrior goddess who saves Bond's life at least as often as he saves hers, and a welcome addition to this summer's gallery of can-do heroines. Topol, as the wily Greek smuggler Columbo, should be in the "Guinness Book of Word Wreckers"; he is perhaps the first performer to demonstrate the art of overacting by chewing pistachio nuts...

...help at all, beyond the occasional suggestion to play broadly. As usual, Ming the Merciless, Emperor of Mongo, is bent on destroying the earth and, failing that, making life as unpleasant as possible for Flash (Sam J. Jones), his girlfriend Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) and his pal Dr. Zarkov (Topol). The results of this obsession are colorful: large and small battles, peril to Dale's virtue ("Prepare her for my pleasure," intones Ming at one point), sundry bondage fantasies. The high points are a whip fight staged on a wildly tilting platform and a concluding conflict that features...
