...three-minute egg timers. Yet Missouri's largest employer spends lavishly where it counts: on new technology. Since the company's birth, McDonnell has poured 83% of its profits into research and expansion.

The boy, Bernard (Peter Kastner), traverses the stacks of the New York Public Library riding roller skates and dumbwaiters, shuttling between a fast-working actress (Elizabeth Hartman) and a sloe-eyed librarian (Karen Black), wondering which chick to turn. Off duty, he gets knocked about by a Wylie Mom and a wily Dad (Geraldine Page and Rip Torn). In the last reel the boy grows up, puts down his parents and stomps off to his librarian...
