In such documentary essays as Point of Order (about the Army-McCarthy hearings) ... he needled some popular historic myths and a few political reputations. Now, in Millhouse, De Antonio has employed his usual technique of matching fragments of news film with quick on-camera interviews to produce an unflattering but funny likeness of the 37th President (whose middle name is Milhous, not Millhouse, but let that go).

...DIED. ANTONIO GADES, 67, passionate Spanish dancer and choreographer; of cancer; in Madrid. Considered Spain's best dancer of his era, he helped popularize flamenco, lacking Gypsy fire but more than compensating with power and elegance. The artistic director of the National Ballet of Spain, he also made 10 films that brought him an international audience, notably Blood Wedding, Spanish director Carlos Saura's vibrant dance version of the Garcia Lorca play. Gades was an ardent communist who spent several years in Cuba. Fidel Castro was the best man at his wedding...
