As President Carter grimly noted last spring in his energy address to the nation, if present trends continue, the country's oil deficit by 1985 will total a mind-stretching $550 billion. With the world monetary system already buckling under the weight of the nation's existing oil deficit, it is not hard to envision the disruptions that will follow from a more than tenfold increase in the burden during the next seven...
Even if these scenes didn't wrench us out of the normal world, perhaps, the story would, for it is often as difficult to fathom as the wanton brutality.

The fighting devastated Beirut's business...
...thrill of the act, and blowing off Morrissey out of sheer spite. The schoolteacher identity is tossed away in the process, and while the plot occasionally returns to the classroom setting for a change of pace, the movie ultimately degenerates into an orgiastic display of violence and wanton sex that approaches the Dornographic...
