From James Michener,- we have
come to expect bland historical
novels .written in the style of the
author's Quaker missionary herit-
age. From Julie Andrews, we have
come to expect sickeningly saccha-
rine performances and. a starched
high-collar carriage. In Max Von
Sydlow, we have come to expect an
actor who straits to follow his di-
rector's instructions by .properly
evoking, the mystical image of
Christ. Together, they have in
"Hawaii" (now playing at the Fox
Village Theatre) produced. a
mediocrity which is far less. pleas-
ing f1han the 'suin of its mediocre
parts. . .
It seems that there' are these

lands in the Pacific. Of course,
they were bereft of Christian' civil-

are just horrible! Julie Andrews

Wild-eyed England which produced
long bair and short skirts is really
an honest to goodness wholesome
country and they can produce their

The only really interesting part
of the movie is the mountainous
presence of Samoan princess Joce-
lyne Lagarde. Cast in the role of
a native leader, th¢ 350-pound
Amazon veritably thunders through
her part. Nevertheless, her value
is largely heuristic. One can ima-

Along 1-94
By The Associated Press
Sniper fire cracked out along
Michigan highways yesterday,
puncturing tires on six trucks
traveling on I-94. The gunfire, ap-
parently connected with the eight-
state Teamster dispute, hit three
trucks at the Fletcher Road over-
pass about 13 miles west of Ann
Arbor.
No one was injured, however, in
the state's first real taste of the
violence that erupted in Ohio and
Pennsylvania Sept. 12 and has led
to layoffs and production cutbacks
in some steel mills with more
planned.
In Indiana, flying glass slashed
William Ward, 27, of Gary in the
face and neck when a bullet hit
the windshield of his steel-laden
rig near East Chicago.
Pennsylvania State Police re-
ported one truck tire flattened by
a rifle slug near Somerset on the
Pennsylvania Turnpike, not far
from where a trucker was shot in
the stomach Tuesday night. Some
stoning incidents also were report-
ed. In the Michigan incidents, the
truck drivers said shots apparent-
ly came from passing cars, west-
bound like the trucks.
Drivers said the cars had their
lights out in the predawn dark-
ness. Four of the big rigs were
moving, two were parked by the,
side of the road. The moving rigs
rolled on until they came to light-
ed weighing stations or roving
State Police patrols.
.The violence stemsfrom a dis-
pute among owner-drivers who get
