...over the U.S., as well as in Australia, Sweden, and Denmark. To the festival’s credit, the atmosphere never felt very competitive. There aren’t too many pretensions on hand—no one’s trying to land a three picture deal with Warner Bros. For the most part, it’s just people making movies for the sake of making movies, and that’s why it’s so refreshing...
Some officials agree that records should be labeled to warn parents if a song is blatantly offensive, as many are these days. On the flip side, others complain that rating systems are too subjective. Warner Bros.' Bob Merlis says Elvis Presley could have been stamped with an X for promoting bondage and sadism in (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear.

Since the first home test for pregnancy, Warner-Lambert's e.p.t., appeared eight years ago, health kits have become easier to use and more accurate. In 1977 e.p.t. provided an answer in two hours. A new version introduced this week, Improved e.p.t. Plus, takes ten minutes. Even the trusty old thermometer has been improved. Marshall Electronics' digital thermometer, which gives an easier-to-read display, cost $39.95 when it was released in 1979. Today's handier model is priced at just...
