...real problem with Cruising is Friedkin's inability to deliver what should have been a brilliant thriller about sex and death. This film muffles a potentially explosive premise. In order to trap a psychopathic murderer who preys on gays, Cop Steve Burns (Al Pacino) adopts a fictive homosexual identity and blends into the rough S-M scene. Gradually he zeroes in on the killer, but not without paying a weird price: Burns begins to lose his real-life grip on heterosexuality...
...Loni Anderson, but Muppetdonna Miss Piggy is way up on the charts too, as a kind of ham amid the cheese. Beefcake has sold as well, including young Rock Stars Andy Gibb and Leif Garrett, John Travolta looking disco-feverish and NBC's heart throb Highway Cop Erik Estrada posing with his CHiPs down.

Once thought to be convenient cop-outs for unexplained phenomena, or even figments of theorists' imaginations, black holes apparently do exist. Radio and infrared data gathered within just the past few years imply that the centers of all galaxies are dominated by supermassive objects. For example, current exploration of the heart of our own Milky Way galaxy has recently revealed a gargantuan whirlpool of matter whose integrity can be maintained only by the existence of a heretofore unrecognized "something" having several million times the mass of our Sun. Gulping perhaps whole stars, and presumably growing, this bizarre region is probably...
