...response to his clear rejection by the members of his own party, John Lindsay chastized New Yorkers for allowing their city to be "captured by the forces of reaction and fear." Reaction? We're reacting, all right-to streets that are dirtier, to air that is fouler, to a public-school system breaking down at almost every level, to a three-year 100% increase in the number of persons on welfare and to skyrocketing taxes levied in order to keep the whole mess of an incompetent administration "moving".

Director Henry Hathaway, 71, knits the yarn into a perfect size 46 extra long for Wayne...
Port Hedland today has a population of 5,000, new schools, motels, a drive-in cinema and facilities to handle the mile-long trains that chug in from the mines. It also has an air of rough and easy freedom that is attractive to the miners after the tight discipline of Mount Newman and other camps...
