...latest and most furious ratings scramble among the networks began last March when CBS Anchorman Walter Cronkite stepped down to make way for Dan Rather. Cronkite's Evening News had consistently attracted the most viewers for 14 years, with NBC a strong second, ABC a distant third. Suddenly, however, all bets were off. While a visibly uneasy Rather adjusted to his new role, viewers began to drift to other channels. The major gainer: ABC News, which, since Roone Arledge took over as president in 1977, has fashioned a slick, fast-paced style of reporting that bristles with the latest...
...couldn't stand the pain." First, as George packs his things to leave, he and Faith sing the song in French, in happy reminiscence of honeymoon days in Provence. Is the irony meant to come through only to those educated in French, or is it assumed that every viewer has the lyrics deep enough under his pop-cultured hide that they are aroused just by the melody?

It is also the place where the movie begins lumbering to a halt, elaborating the obvious with political ironies that stick their thumb in the viewer's eye. A story that could have made for a brisk jeremiad on 60 Minutes is stretched to 122 minutes of heroes fuming and villains purring their oleaginous apologies. Spacek and Lemmon, an appealing sweet-and-sour combo, sink in the swamp of good intentions. Perhaps Costa-Gavras should...
