...desert floor. Just a mile from the audience, each warplane sent 27 Mark-82 bombs, weighing 500 lbs. apiece, crashing onto a mock airstrip. Pillars of fire and black smoke billowed into the translucent sky. Minutes later, the aircraft wheeled to the west, starting their 7,000-mile nonstop flight back...
...double comeback from alcoholism-professionally and as the mother of a teen-age child she had virtually abandoned. She has two friends, a ne'er-do-well actor and homosexual (James Coco) and a wealthy woman desperately afraid of aging (Joan Hackett).

Jordan said that one of the firm's partners, former Democratic National Committee Chairman Robert Strauss, had invited him to join the Washington office.

Long evenings are devoted to more research and legal reading, aided by a Rolodex that lists...
...Overhead fans languidly attempt to rearrange the air. Late afternoon heat seeps through the Venetian blinds. A tenor sax investigates the upper registers of despair. Ned Racine (William Hurt) drags voraciously on a nonstop series of cigarettes. He wears a Clark Gable mustache and a Zachary Scott hat. And one night, as a Dorsey-style orchestra plays That Old Feeling, a sleek, tanned woman in white emerges from the darkness of the band shell and into the rest of Ned's life...
