FLATOW TOTENBERG KRULWICH

If you listen to WIAN Radio then the voices of these three people should be very familiar to you. They are heard regularly on NPR’s evening news magazine, All Things Considered. Bob Krulwichand Ira Flatow, also present the morning news t magazine Morning Editor. • Nina Totenberg is National f Public Radio's award- £ winning legal affairs - correspondent. Before joining « NPR, she was the Washington I" editor for New Times £ magazine, and before that, -3 she was the legal affairs correspondent for the National Observer.

Directing the group are Rabbi Joseph P. Klein and Irv Biegel.

elusive report of the Supreme Court’s rejection of appeals brought by Watergate defend ants. The story was page one news across the country for a week. At New Times, she is perhaps best remembered for her story, “The Ten Dumbest Members of Congress.” While at the National Observer, her much quoted profile of J. Edgar Hoover prompted Hoover to pressure the National Observer to fire Ms. Totenberg. The Observer printed Hoover’s letter and stood by its reporter. Possessed of one of the most highly developed senses of humor at NPR, Robert Krulwich is also one of the network’s most astute reporters. Business and Economics Affairs Correspondent at NPR, Krulwich was formerly head of NPR’s national desk. Before coming to NPR, he

was Washington bureau chief for Rolling Stone magazine, and won an Armstrong Award from Columbia University for his series “Economics for the Dummy” which he produced while he was Washington bureau chief for Pacifica.

The award was made for his feature, “Productivity,” aired September 25, on All Things Considered. In this feature Bob explained the complex elements of productivity by humorously examining the operation of “Maury’s” Delicatessen. Ira Flatow, reporter, makes the complex subjects he covers—science and health areas—interesting and understandable.

Movie Reviews

/Vew F//ms Have Same Weaknesses

By CHARLES EPSTEIN The movies “The Mirror Cracked” and “The Formula” are dissimilar in structure, plot, and nature but both share the same deficiency. At the conclusion of each too many questions remained unanswered. Loose ends are not tied up. Complete knowledge and fulfillment are not achieved. However both films have extremely talented and all star casts. The acting is excellent and the photography brilliant. Angela Lansbury, portraying Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple in “The Mirror Cracked” would be a cinch Academy Award winner if her role was only larger. The numerous insulting barbs between Elizabeth Taylor and Kim Novak are excitingly delicious. These super attractive stars of yester-year go at

it not only by tooth and nail but by fang and claw. George C. Scott is superb in “The Formula”. John Gielgud turns in his usual masterful performance. The gorgeous Marthe Keller emerges in another role of intrigue, deceit, and confusion. Marlon Brando, who only has three scenes, supposedly received $250,000 for this picture, that is $250,000 a day. His appearance, voice, and mannerisms seem to be a caricature of Tim Conway which is a dreadful waste of talent and money. If you would rather see the real thing instead of a caricature Tim Conway can be seen in “The Private Eyes”. It is nice to have two quality films playing at the same time. Unfortunately one leaves the theatre unsatisfied due to the weak endings. (Created by Charles Epstein)
