After the war, Mountbatten literally made history: as the last British Viceroy and first Governor-General on the Indian subcontinent, he oversaw the birth of self-government in the Empire's biggest possession, thus breaking ground for the postcolonial era. In 1955 he vindicated his father's name when Churchill appointed him First Sea Lord. Finally, during a six-year stint as chief of the Defense Staff, he built Britain's unified defense system, which he regarded as one of his major triumphs...

Alex Briley. Simpson came along in perfect 4/4 time: shooting has just begun on the People's first film, You Can't Stop the Music, co-starring Bruce Jenner and Valerie Perrine. Harmony, disco style, reigns again...
...guilt and responsibility in the country." This perhaps is Cimino's real obsession: to analyze the psyche of a society in conflict. He hopes soon to look at the 18th century, in a film about the Sioux culture. That movie, Cimino insists, will be told in subtitled Indian dialogue. No doubt the sounds of switchblades and garbage-can covers in Hollywood will follow close behind...
