Moreover, this horrendous historical act by "White Devils" has, in the black racialist view of the Black Experience, endowed the Black man with a special aura of righteousness--that same righteousness indeed that has been applied to the oppressed and the wretched of the earth since the birth of Christianity. Of course, the typical black nationalist would not today attribute to Christian doctrine his view of the special righteousness accruing to the oppressed and despised Black Man. Yet it is one of the striking ironies of the black nationalist approach to the Black Experience that the Christian doctrine, now considered...
...most of the time he plies a sober, analytical course through the jazz recordings made between New Orleans' Storyville days and the birth of the big-band era in the early 1930s. He scrutinizes Louis Armstrong's solo on Big Butter and Egg Man (1926) as if it were a song of Mozart's. In fact, he writes, "not even a Mozart or a Schubert composed anything more natural and simply inspired." Blues Singer Bessie Smith's laments of a gin-soaked life might as well be lieder sung by Lotte Lehmann for the way Schuller...
...another 8% and profits another 11%. And last week stockholders at American Home's annual meeting in Wilmington, Del., heard even more good news. With final Food and Drug Administration approval at last in hand, American Home will soon be entering the burgeoning (now $100 million-a-year) birth-control market with an oral contraceptive called Ovral.

And, nestled at its base, not one, not two, but three Sack Theatres happily clustered together under a grand parking garage, the whole complex multiplying with amoebic ferocity. The Cheri 1 and 2 have already given birth to Cheri 3. Cheri 4 and 5 are soon to arrive. These theatres offer the key to Sack's flexibility. They are all relatively small--the smallest seats only 600--and therefore can be made available profitably for movies with a more limited appeal. They also allow Sack to shuffle movies...
...should confuse DeMille with art, but Samson and Delilah comes closest of all his films to fitting normal standards of taste. For once he departs from the archaic film-making conventions which mark his other work. Technically, The Ten Commandments is cruder than Birth of a Nation, but Samson and Delilah looks comparatively modern. DeMille's camera moves more than usual, and often beautifully. He stages Delilah's discovery of Samson's blindness with real cinematic imagination; the camera follows Samson turning the millstone as he passes by her, completely oblivious to her seductive presence. The color, while no better...
