Newsweek - USA (2020-01-03)

1980

After Meryl Streep’s stunning

performance in Kramer vs. Kramer,

Newsweek predicted she “may become

the strongest performer of her generation”

and “rival the power of such male stars as

[Dustin] Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, Robert

De Niro and Al Pacino.” Indeed, Streep

has been nominated for 21 Academy

Awards—more than any other actor.

“At almost any hour that urban Americans are on the move, there is

an anthem of gnashing teeth,” Newsweek reported on the growing

“agony of getting anywhere” for city dwellers. In “no other society has man

deployed so many wheels: they enable him to live in one place, work in another,

and vacation anywhere he chooses.” On the road, “automobiles choke the

expressways.” Ever-more beleaguered today by increased congestion and

pollution, a new age of smart technology aims to alleviate these historic

challenges—such as ride-sharing services and autonomous vehicles.
