Jail Tunnel. The results, starting with Westlake's The Fugitive Pigeon in 1965, have brought new life to a neglected subgenre: the caper novel. In The Spy in the Ointment (1966), a typographical error on an FBI list caused a pacifist to become mixed up with bomb-throwing subversives. In The Hot Rock (1970), a raffish foursome engineered several fiendishly clever jewel thefts in search of a rare emerald that turned out never to be where it was supposed to be. In Bank Shot (1972), a suburban bank temporarily operating out of a mobile home was robbed...

The baby was born at Jonah House, the pacifist commune where her parents now live...

The script is based on the 1963 assassination of Greek pacifist Gregarios Lambrakis. This is a film about government complicity in murder, conspiracy, and obstruction of justice. It could never, of course, happen here. Ch. 56, 9 p.m. Color, 2 1/2 hours...
...from the year before (both figures exclude weapons given away under formal military-aid programs). The Soviet Union ran a close second, registering sales of $4 billion, followed by France, with $1.4 billion. No fewer than 53 other countries also sold arms outside their own borders. Even neutral, pacifist Sweden has exported some $300 million worth in the past three years...
