...COMMUNITY ACTION. Shriver has called this organization "the boldest of OEO's inventions" and "the business corporation of the new social revolution." As Congress framed the Community Action Program, it was to run local projects "with maximum feasible participation of residents of the areas and members of the groups served." Generally, that has worked out to mean that residents of poor neighborhoods occupy 30% of the seats on city anti-poverty boards. Initially, these representatives were supposed to be elected, but after fewer than 1% of the eligible voters turned out in Los Angeles, 2.7% in Philadelphia...

...Fuga. Any electricity generated by this low-voltage Italian drama can be traced to Anouk Aimée, playing an interior decorator who is more beautiful than most, and more manly too. Anouk's boldest designs are reserved for Giovanna Ralli, a newer exotic, who smartly assumes the attitudes of a neurotic young matron beset by conventional woes. Her parents are a wretchedly selfish pair; she cannot concentrate on raising her young son; and her physicist husband is so preoccupied with the mysteries of nuclear fission that he seldom wonders what his wife thinks. Giovanna consults an analyst...
