After Dealing is finished, Williams will direct a full-length version of Kurt Vonnegut's The Sirens of Titan. Vonnegut, Briggs-Copeland Lecturer on English, is currently working on the screenplay...
Joffrey possesses a shrewd, show-bizzy instinct, not merely for what his dancers can manage but for what his audiences will swallow. So far he has avoided full-length ballets in the Russian tradition on the grounds that a Swan Lake or a Giselle would expose more of the company's faults than its virtues. Nonetheless, the question remains as to how long this promising fancy-free troupe can survive on nerve, verve and youthful fervor.

...Full-length feature films make up by far the most profitable and fastest growing segment of the porn business. There can be big money in the shoestring "sexploitation" flicks, which are ground out in backyards and garages by youngsters with hand-held cameras.

Alan Roberts, 23, a partner in SAE Productions of Los Angeles, reports that his company recouped its $45,000 investment in Zodiac Couples within three months after its release. In San Francisco, two brothers...

The visual effect is to capture the period charm of engravings. By discovering conventions and exploiting them, Truffaut is inviting us to share in an artistic is trust with him. That he succeeds...
...Williams had treated, by his own count, a million and a half patients and delivered 2,000 babies, while delivering himself of 49 books. These included his five-volume industrial-age epic poem Paterson-along with 600-odd other poems, 52 short stories, four novels, four full-length plays and a brilliant, curiously neglected impression of American history (In the American Grain), not to mention an opera libretto and the translation of a medieval Spanish novel...
