...precipitous knap that rises out of Holy Island, a dot in the North Sea off the coast of Northumberland. There all alone lives a rather odd couple: a flabby old fool (Donald Pleasence) who dismally fails to satisfy the snippy little chippy (Françoise Dorléac) he has recently wed. She lusts for excitement, and suddenly she gets it. A mobster on the lam (Lionel Slander) staggers into the castle one fine day and institutes a nerve-shredding reign of terror: flashes his firearms, slashes the phone wires, crashes the liquor closet, mashes the host's nose...
...between the principals. Pleasence plays the husband as the abject dog beneath the good grey skin of a middle-aged respectable who has made his pile and lost his nerve, as a whipped cur whining, wriggling, licking, leaking, crawling on its belly in pathetic need to please. Dorléac plays the wife as a bitch-kitty who doesn't know she is alive unless she is sinking her claws into some poor hound.

Hastily the White House sent summonses for help to two former White House press secretaries-James Hagerty, who helped arrange Ike's 1959 visit to Asia, and Pierre Salinger, who helped plan John F.

Predictably Unpredictable. In March 1965, President Johnson made it clear that it was time to invoke federal ac tion. "Our task is to put the highest concerns of our people at the center of urban growth and activity," he told Congress. "For this is truly the time of decision for the American city." The 89th Congress approved Johnson's request for a new federal agency, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, to give Cabinet representation for the first time to the 130 million metropolitan Americans. The President appointed Robert Clifton Weaver, a Negro, as HUD's first...
