Nonetheless, the ad will air this week on 150 independent stations across the country. The spot, says W.R. Grace Spokesman Christopher Tofalli, is "done in good taste on an important issue." That's just the problem, says NBC Vice President Rick Gitter: "It's so well done. It expresses a view that budget cuts are a moral imperative." Which was exactly the point. J. Peter Grace, the company chairman, served as head of President Reagan's Commission on Waste and Inefficiency in Government...
...ensemble, clearly under-rehearsed, doesn't really gel, but there is nice work by lots of capable actors. Among Mayer's previous collaborators, Woodward Wickham is an unmagical magician and Andrea Portago a plebian Lady, but Francis Gitter has a compelling presence, rivetingly sad eyes, and moments of gaunt, tranquil beauty as Aladdin's mother, and Vincent Canzoneri is a wittily forthright Scholar Wu. As the Grand Wazir, David Prum reveals a precious comic style, a sublimely funny blend of ham and deadpan, and Jenny Cornuelle, a most impudently regal actress, is a flashing, mesmerizing Sultan.

At this point Jaszi began the laudable Welles format of keeping a directorial retrospective going on in at least one of the theaters--the practice that has disappeared today. Jaszi, now a lawyer for the American Film Institute, also began the film appreciation class that...
...posts for trying to emigrate to Israel, and then barred from emigrating at all. Partly to keep up their spirits, the president of Tel Aviv University got Azbel and another physicist, Alexander Voronel, appointed to his own faculty; he persuaded neighboring Bar-Han University to hire a third, Moshe Gitter-man. "I hope that the administration will excuse my being unable to start my duties immediately, as I am, so to say, on leave," Voronel wistfully wrote to Tel Aviv. "I would be happy if some means were found for me to be useful to the university...
