...scourging the countryside with fire, flood and poison. Moviegoers may take it or leave it; but those who stick around will probably want to amuse themselves by counting phallic symbols. Snakes and falling timber abound, and Mademoiselle's metaphor for the act of love is an ax blade buried in lumber. Xenophobia, pyromania and sundry aberrations are touched upon, while Genet catalogues the destructive power of Woman. On the night before the woodsman is beaten to death by the villagers who suspect him of her crimes, Moreau leads her victim through rainswept meadows in one of the longest...
Major Efforts. Along with more pottery, the jackpots include a 1-in.-long bronze pin for fastening garments, and a blackened iron knife blade some 5 in. long.

Farther up the hillside they also found postholes 1 ft. in diameter-unusually large for the time-that may indicate the site of Arthur's mead hall, plus grain-storage pits and burnt remains from another timber structure...

Less than three hours later, in the final heat, Don Wilson, 34, in Miss Budweiser and Rex Manchester, 39, in Notre Dame were jockeying for position on the back straightaway when Notre Dame skidded sideways and collided with Miss Budweiser...
...camera. To his peerless rhetoric he is now adding increasingly polished stage business. Just before he delivers a cruncher, his tongue licks from the corner of his mouth, his patrician voice rasps into a lower register. Similarly, the elevation of his eyebrows telegraphs the drop of a guillotine blade. Another Buckley tactic-when the antagonist has the floor-is to close his eyes, as if he is hearing insufferable platitudes, or to raise them heavenward, as if to invoke Aquinas against such patent sophistry...
