...string of Khashoggi investments in Salt Lake City. The state's conservative political and social environment appeals to the Khashoggi family, which during the past decade has pumped $77 million into an array of Salt Lake City development projects, including a $600 million downtown office complex called Triad Center...
...banal Paris street, the Rue Bourbon-le-Chateau. Yet the scene is far from ordinary. The orthogonals and links between objects give it a tense, mathematical substructure with all manner of arcane rhymes: the triad, for instance, of the red ball on the ground, the globe over the door and the pompon on the boy's cap.

Enter a triad of villains-Megamogul Ross Webster (Robert Vaughn), his ugly, scheming sister Vera (Annie Ross) and his "psychic nutritionist," the alluring Lorelei Ambrosia (Pamela Stephenson)-and one nebbishy computer genius gone astray. His name is Gus Gorman, and since he is played by Richard Pryor, two things are certain: Gus will be on Superman's side in time for the climax, and the film will...
