...whose humor is tempered by uncharacteristic restraint, and to an excellent cast, among whom Bo Brundin as Kessler stands out. As for Redford, this is his best work since Downhill Racer. Appealingly awkward when trying to express his feeling for flying, he is in his most dashingly self-destructive mode when demonstrating the heights to which his passion drives him. All in all, The Great Waldo Pepper is popular entertainment of a very high order. ∙Richard Schickel
Discrest Charm of the Bourgeoisie Bunuel throws out the narrative mode in this 1972 movie, and with it escapes the nice touches, the quick flourishes, that make most of his films great instead this series of disjointed skits, featuring middle class folk with fantasies about death and bombs and machine gun massacres, becomes an opportunity for critics to jump into the abstraction and emerge with their own fantastic.

Those visitors arriving by automobile include those who are passengers and those who are in rental cars. These estimates were derived by segregating the market segments on a monthly basis and origin basis...
...Approximately one-third of the visitors are expected during the weekends when employment related traffic and other activities are greatly reduced. During a given day, a great many visitors are likely to avoid peak traffic, although nearly 65 per cent of the visitors will use their automobile as a mode of arrival. However, a trip to the Library being more of a family affair, "cars" on an average will carry 3.5 persons, an occupancy rate almost double the average all-purpose trip rate. All of these estimates are primarily applicable to the stable year visitation which is the only significant...
