...accent here, as on every other cut, is on Linda. She belts this one out with true style, growling and cooing over the notes in a fine evocation of the early days of rock. The selection is even more significant when compared to one of her early numbers, "Heat Wave," a 1963 hit by Martha Raye and the Shirelles. That song was a tremendous hit, and deservedly so, but it was actually a bit out of Ronstadt's range. When she realized the song was too high and too powerful for her, Ronstadt finally dropped it from her concert repertoire...
Werner Herzog serves as a textbook example of this Teutonic "New Wave." His work demands a special kind of viewer, a sensibility that can accommodate the warped and the damned souls of this world. His 1972 film Aguirre: The Wrath of God suggested Herzog's affinity for dwelling on the sordid side of things; watching a demented Spanish conquistador in search of his El Dorado foam at the mouth for the better part of 90 minutes, one could sense a sublimated sadism at work in the movie...
...shift of emphasis from the effects of the family's psychological structure to the impact of society on children is a constructive approach, the suggested solutions seem simplistic. All too often, the power of federal mandate seems to be invoked by the council as a magic cureall; wave the wand of legislation, they imply, and problems will vanish.

Occasionally the two men wave at each other from the heights, like rival aviators saluting before a dogfight. But sometimes?when he is trying to woo a star away from another network or plan a secret strategy?Silverman, head of ABC's programming, draws his drapes: if he can look into Wussler's office, Wussler can look into his, and Silverman does not want anyone, especially anyone at CBS, to know...
...dipping in the breeze. There is solitude in the air. Except for the occasional fire of the burners, the rest is silence. The land shrinks to lilliputian dimensions; horses run from this spectacle in the sky, and people on their porches, retrieving their Sunday papers, look up and wave. There is no sensation of movement-our balloon is moving with the wind, in the wind. As one balloonist puts it, "In a plane you're strapped down looking out; in a balloon it's like you're standing on your front porch, watching the world...
