...Behold a Pale Horse. The bigger they come the harder they pall. This picture, for instance, is very long and very expensive. It was constructed by an important moviemaker (Fred Zinnemann, who also directed From Here to Eternity and High Noon), and it contains an important cast (Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn, Omar Sharif). But size, as the cannibal said while he munched the midget, isn't everything. Zinnemann's direction is occasional, his characters are trumpery and his actors obviously know it.

...Republican, and I thought that the floor debate on the Republican platform was incredible to behold. The determined vindictiveness and deliberate refusal, evidenced by most of the delegates, to consider rational appeals was a sterling example of the extremism they refused to condemn.

The revolving audience sees him in three additional incarnations-in the '20s, the '40s, and today in his ultimate, modern G.E. home, with indirect colored lighting and clear-plastic, form-fitting kitchen chairs. The older appliances are wonders to behold. But the plastic man's life gets duller as it progresses...
...while to catch its breath. But with the U.S. economy looking stronger than ever and the stock market so free of speculative excesses, only a few cold-nosed bears still sniff a sharp price break in 1964. Most Wall Streeters rub their hands with glee when they behold the market still so full of untapped values, of stocks selling at only 14 or 15 times the company's earnings. The most common prediction on the Street: the Dow-Jones will hit 880 before year...
