...funding for Social Security, welfare, food stamps, civil service pensions and other income-security programs leaps 13%, to $179.1 billion. The trend continues upward largely because expenditures for many programs rise automatically with the rate of inflation. Social Security, at $115.2 billion, is by far the largest single item hi the budget, and the reforms proposed by Carter would save only $600 million...
Mitchelson is no lectern pounder; even attorneys who have opposed him concede that he is unfailingly "pleasant and easygoing." Clients who visit him in his office are sometimes surprised to find him dressed in a bathrobe or riding britches, conducting an imaginary orchestra as a hi-fi system plays a favorite Verdi opera.

...craftsmen might have made better visual definitions of characters-it's sometimes hard to tell one cottontail from another -but the vocal characterizations by such English worthies as Ralph Richardson, Harry Andrews and Denholm Elliott are never confusing. The English pastoral tradition, both in painting and hi literature, informs the movie in a subliminal way that is very attractive. It even makes the largest miscue, a dreadful pop song called Bright Eyes sung by Art Garfunkel, almost bearable...
