Conceivably, the FCC could step in and pave over some of these potholes, but chairman William E. Kennard has been careful to let the marketplace steer the bus. He concedes that the trip could be both bumpy and lengthy but insists the government's role should be limited to cajoling the parties when needed. "These decisions should be made by consumers, not government agencies," says Kennard...
...adds, without apparent irony. The film is also attentive to the change of seasons in the year of the story's life; the surrounding woods and streams are limned in lustrous imagery.

The product is anything but tired; on Sylvie, for example, the rueful, cosmopolitan irony of the lyric is offset completely by a glowing arrangement. The overlay of subtle syncopations and retro instrumentation makes the song surreal and engaging, like a chance meeting with Burt Bacharach after hours...
