...introduce Batman and Robin and dutifully wore his Bat tie. "It unfolds and becomes a cape," he told the awed gaggle of youngsters. He was also on hand for the Beatles at Shea Stadium, stopped off to buy a new Honda Hawkeye for faster mobility through traffic, and was ad-libbing at an outdoor park fashion show, backed by the blasting rock 'n' roll of a Yale combo known as the Five-Card Stud, when he got a call from the mayor. A bit petulantly, Lindsay told Hoving that he'd like a little advance notice; Lindsay...
Studying the ads submitted, Lufthansa itself rejected several phrases, including one claiming that "German mechanics love their nuts and bolts more than their wives." The public rejected more of the ads. From all parts of the world suddenly came protesting letters. One U.S. reader tore out an ad with a reference to "fanatical thoroughness" and sent it to Lufthansa's Cologne headquarters with the marginal notation, "i.e., Eichmann." Another, objecting to the claim that Germans do everything with "painful thoroughness," commented, "particularly gas chambers." An Israeli sent in a six-page, handwritten letter of criticism. From London...
Poret, a carpenter's apprentice who had formerly lived in California, placed a classified ad in a Los Angeles newspaper declaring that he was condemned to death for a crime he had not committed.

Adolfo (Francois Perier) is a big-city bachelor with a discouraged mustache and legs like fuzzy yellow pencils. They meet after he answers her ad in a lonely-hearts column, and in this sad, hilarious, faultless little film by Italy's Antonio Pietrangeli, they begin and end in a single day the least hopeful attempt at pairing since the dish ran away with the spoon...
...little-known British moviemakers, Kevin Brownlow and Andrew Mollo, It Happened Here was shot with spare cash ($20,000) in spare time over a period of seven years. Then it was withheld from the public for still another year by distributors who were afraid that some anti-Semitic dialogue, ad-libbed by real-life British fascists, might peeve the public. The dialogue was cut before release, but the film is still incendiary. With ferocious frankness, Brownlow and Mollo propose that the British, by succumbing to the sophistries of reverse racialism, have become entirely too smug about the Germans and their...
