...part of Claude's re-education, how can we overlook the essential acid trip? It's administered to him eucharistically by Treat Williams, demagogue of our clan. John Savage does amazing things with his face, acquiring a glassy-eyed glazed expression as his mind launches through fabricated fantasies of wedded bliss with the luscious Beverly D'Angelo (former debutante gone bourgeois freak) to fantasies of back home in the mid-west American Gothic nightmare. These are tangents which are intelligent, tightly edited and don't resort to multi-layered montage fade outs. John Savage does a convincing portraval...
...safari remained unclear. As an open but un declared candidate for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, he may have wanted to acquire some credentials on international matters. He did meet with the leaders of Ken ya and Liberia and was planning to go to Tan zania. The trip also gave Brown a chance to inspect environmental protection programs, something he passionately supports. At one visit to a United Nations project, he saw a map showing that the danger of arable land turning into desert is greater in California than in Kenya. He stuffed the map into his pocket...
...send out for Chinese food or pizza, make popcorn, keep score, watch for the awful fashions and the stilted soliloquies of acceptance. But this year, beneath the usual wisecracks and show business sentimentality, there was more interesting drama.

Some members of Congress have done an almost total about-face. Until a few weeks ago, Democrat Henry Jackson of Washington, chairman of the Senate Energy Committee and Carter's principal Senate ally on energy, supported phased decontrol. But a trip back home to the Northwest changed his mind, as voters howled about rising fuel prices. Last week Jackson joined with Kennedy and Ohio Democrat Howard Metzenbaum, one of the Administration's bitterest foes in previous energy fights, in co-sponsoring a bill to overrule Carter and extend price controls for two years. With less than five weeks...
About this the girls are quite unconcerned. The trip represents a day away from the stultifying routine that has turned them into twittering caged birds. Even as they leave for their picnic, they are instructed not to remove their white gloves until they have safely passed through a neighboring town. There will of course be no question of disencumbering themselves from all their heavy corsetry. The time is 1900, and the place is provincial Australia; the most repressive tenets of the Victorian behavioral code, especially regarding sexuality, are rigidly enforced...
