...dissertation was on "Money as God's Muscle." As Coca-Cola's troubleshooter, he's been assigned to the untroubled Australian Division to find out what the trouble is, then take care of it. "Don't get scared" and "don't get angry" Coke warns the Australian Headquarters. The caveat seems an understatement when we see the incredible yet believable religious zeal which Roberts gives his character. Truly, he is what Kubrick had in mind in Dr. Strangelove with the solemn declaration "You'll have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company." He permits no distractions, such a sexy secretary...

A few basic rules should be to avoid cosmetics containing carcinogens, to avoid ingesting cosmetics (women swallow half the lipstick they wear) and to reduce the chances of infection by avoiding sharing cosmetics. Until the industry itself can be restricted, the consumer must take "caveat emptor" more seriously than ever...
...series of zigs and zags he appeared acutely uncomfortable with the issue and close to deceptive about it. "I have no plans for a tax increase," he declared. "I believe it would be counterproductive with regard to the present recovery." But that was followed by an important caveat. If in his judgment Government costs had been reduced to their lowest possible level, said Reagan, "you would have to look at the tax structure in order ... to meet that minimum level of Government expenditures."
