...bevy, each actor into a troupe, each singer into a chorus. The dancers form phalanxes and kicklines and giant grids; they pirouette into place onto giant record discs in the shape of rosettes; they turn their heads and make their paper thin headdresses vanish. And then there's the tunnel-of-legs sequence, with a long camera track at floor level passing under the opened legs of the chorus line. The film degenerates into travesty, extending the traditional fascination with bodies as clockwork. You can see just how repulsive it really is--especially when the bodies are magnified...

Winner of the race was Bill Sirois, a marine supply dealer from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., whose sleek 21-ft. boat with its "tunnel" hull-an airfoil design that allows the craft to ride free of the chop on a cushion of air-was powered by twin 200 h.p. Mercury engines. He outdistanced Runner-Up Reggie Fountain Jr. by a 12-mile margin to take the $18,000 first prize. In all, Sirois all but flew more than 660 miles at the average rate of 82.5 m.p.h.-nearly 3 m.p.h. faster than the record he set as last year...

...tunnel is finished in the fourth section, and the crippled come running out of their cave toward the town and are met by a barrage of rifle fire. When the penitent arrives they are all dead. The townspeople shoot him also but he refuses to die and picks up a gun and again, as the avenger, kills all the townspeople. The only survivors are his dwarf wife, their newborn son, and his priest son. The penitent pours kerosene over himself and self-immolates, leaving the other three to ride off into the desert, and keep civilization going (or perhaps star...
