...parts that the U.S. has refused to deliver because of the hostage crisis. The Administration has said that once the American hostages are free, Iran can have about $100 million worth of "nonlethal" military equipment that it has already ordered and paid for (e.g., spare parts for C-130 transport aircraft). So far, Iran has remained vague about whether it also insists on the immediate delivery of the guns, ammunition and other weaponry it had bought...

Robert Redford and Jane Fonda liberated a Thoroughbred in The Electric Horseman; Burt Reynolds and Sally Field midwifed a pregnant elephant in Smokey and the Bandit II; and now Robert Blake and Dyan Cannon transport a herd of cattle Coast to Coast. This picture follows the standard itinerary: "meeting cute" in Pennsylvania, mutual suspicion in Appalachia, fistfight and car crash in Kansas City, loving and leaving in the Rockies, reconciliation in California.
