David . O. Selznick's Duel In The
Sun will be televised 8 p.m. Saturday
on Channel 12. The film was an at
tempt on Selznick's part to recreate
the splendor (and the popularity) of
his Gone With the Wind. That scheme
failed, but Duel remains a fairly enter
taining motion picture.

Everyone thought The Right Stuff
was going to be quite a sensation,
especially since the film told, in part,
the outer-space career of presidential
candidate John Glenn. Tepid reviews
and general apathy greeted it, and
now its distributors are sponsoring a
series of free screenings around the
country to spark viewer interest. The
film wUl be screened, free of charge,
today at 3 p.m. in the film theater. You

The filmmaker and screenwriters
probably view Silkwood as an impar
tial account of facts which does not
seek to provide an explanation this
is true only to the extent that they
have tried to have it both ways. Be
cause we are told about the tranquiliz
ers and shown Karen going off the
road earlier in the film, an alternative
explanation to murder is possible.
Karen Silkwood was probably mur
dered. All of the evidence indicates
that charges of assassination are reas
onable. I have no doubts that big cor
porations commit outright murder,
and Silkwood is, for me, as much of a
martyr as she is for the filmmakers. ;
However, a film which is based on a
must have a ticket to get in, however.

Borsos' The Grey Fox will be shown 7

true story has special responsibilities.
If crucial occurrences which might
have happened are mixed up with
those that did, the quality of realness is
threatened for the entire film. Because
I saw the headlights which nobody else
but Karen would have seen I began to
question smallbutcrucial details through
out the entire picture, such as: Why
does the film imply that Dolly betrayed
her friend's spying to Kerr McGee, and
then not resolve the question? The last
time Karen Silkwood saw her lover, did
she really say to him she was going to
the plant to collect the most important
and final evidence?
By overstating its case even while
pretending not to the film throws
everything in it into doubt.

"That technique might bamboozle the staff of The
Plagiarist, " Harley reflected, "but -Warren Peace
from Tabula Rosa is sure to be there. The man has a
genius for seeing blank spaces in other people's
knowledge."
Too bad he can't find them in his own paper," Otis
snickered. "Addison is urging us to sit in the front
row and deluge Celeste with questions, thus keeping
our competition's inquisition to a minimum."
"Can we ask them in English?" Harley asked sar
castically. "I went along with Addison on changing
the Intruder to include green ink and yellow paper. I
even agreed to wear a tuxedo to the press confer
ence. But I absolutely refuse to learn that barbarous
Roman language. I'm now convinced their Empire
fell because their language got so big and compli
cated nobody could understand it."
"Remember, Harley, we agreed to put ourselves
entirely in Addison's hands," Otis said. "If we're going
to help Celeste win the election, we have to support
her in whatever way he sees fit. t
"After all, he is a professional campaign manager.
"Yes, but which campaign run by him has ever
been successful?" Harley asked gloomily.
"I'm sure this one will be the first," Otis said with
fervor. .
On that note, they left the bar to seek another
sodden place of refuge. In the meantime, Addison s
plans for Celeste grew more grandiose with each
passing minute.
