...mistake was not simply the City itself, but rather the approach the leaders took...
...earnest racial jockeying can be suspended, the question of who has soul actually becomes intriguing, if rather fanciful fun. The very elusiveness of the soul concept invites a freewheeling, parlor-game approach. Not long ago, in an eleven-page feature on the soul mystique, Esquire half seriously argued that there are only two kinds of people in the world: the haves and the havenots?soul-wise. Others have taken up the sport, which prompts the engaging notion that important personalities of history and legend can be classed in these terms...
...treatments of homosexuality, of course, are as old to movies as the custard pie. Effeminacy always brought out the vitriolic best in comedians, particularly in pre-code days. Both W. C.

Us are the Green Beret crack troops led by Wayne with a chestful of fruit salad and a no-nonsense approach to the dovish American press, personified by David Janssen. During the beating of a V.C., Reporter Janssen protests, "There's such a thing as due process." "Out here," sneers Wayne, "due process is a bullet." Built on the primitive lines of a standard western, Berets even has the South...
