...steamy morning, a young librarian named Neil Klugman (Richard Benjamin) meets vacationing Cliffie Brenda Patimkin (Ali MacGraw). Neil is a wry, unfocused dropout, from both college and society. Sleek and chic, Brenda has had not only her nose fixed but her psyche as well. Her mother (Nan Martin) is a fashionably haggard parvenu who objects to Neil's background, his manners and, most important, his drab occupation. Brenda's father (Jack Klugman) commits a more serious sin-he trusts his daughter and lets her know...
...Brenda's super-athletic, subhuman brother (Michael Meyers), in the feline mother-daughter skirmishes, Director Larry Peerce (One Potato, Two Potato) has produced some rare moments of high social criticism.

...Instead, Nixon said: "I am delighted to have the opportunity to know your views and to hear your opinions not only concerning the relations between our two countries but even more so about the great problems which divide the world." He said that he shared "the feeling expressed by Benjamin Franklin many years ago when he said: 'Every man has two countries, France and his own.' Vive la France!" De Gaulle was almost as expansive. "In the past 200 years, during which everything has happened, nothing has ever been able to make our country cease to feel...
