Got reminded of this movie watched sometime in 1980 or 81, while hearing the news at the US Presidential candidate's rally earlier today.
Lest this post be construed as political, will not include any names.
Fortunately nothing untoward happened.

Was an awesome movie.
Watched in again a while back.

My next reads will be whatever my grandsons recommend. We share an interest in science fiction.

RE: Science fiction - highly recommend the Expanse series. The author is James S. A. Corey, a pseudonym for a 2-person writing team. It was made into a TV series that started on the SciFi channel and finished either on Amazon Prime or Netflix. Can't remember now. The series was pretty decent. Hewed pretty closely to the books' story lines. The books were really good.

Have you read any of the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells? Very entertaining SciFi, especially in audiobook format.

I agree with Mike. Excellent movie. Makes me want to watch it again.

Unsure I saw the movie, but I read the book.
P.S. Maybe try "The Dead Zone" next.

Couldn't recall that when someone mentioned Jackal the other night. Definitely was the one I was looking for though.

Huh? A man was killed. People screaming out of fear for their lives. Sickening. C-Span video can easily be found. Very much 'untoward.'

Thanks for this info.
At the time i posted this, i didn't get the info about a person losing his life, and the screaming all around. Just got a text news that the assassination has been averted. And it seemed very similar to The Day of the Jackal. That's what I posted.

I just read an old commentary from the late 1970s, where the writer was referring to 'those chewing gum chewing youths'. It struck me: I haven't seen anyone with a chewing gum for at least 10 years, probably more than 20 years. I checked the grocery store: The shelf with chocolate bars and all sorts of candy didn't offer a single a chewing gum alternative. (So it wasn't really 'all sorts'  ).
In my childhood, chewing gum was maybe more common than chocolate bars. I never noticed - until now - that it had vanished completely. I am curious: Is that only around here (Norway), or has it gone from the entire world market? If so, what does Wrigley do nowadays?

Covid had a big hand in that, apparently: Why don't people chew gum anymore? Big candy looks for an answer | Fortune[^]
TBH, I didn't chew it anyway, but I'm glad to see less of it around these days - nasty sticky stuff that got spat on the street.
But I just checked and the UK's biggest supermarket (Tesco) still advertises it on their website, so they must be selling a fair amount or it would have been dropped by now.

It is regularly advertised on TV and the internet, in fact the latest ads are quite new. It is also still sold in our local supermarket so I guess people are still buying it.
