...Bottom." New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller, who gave 268 speeches for Nixon in 1960, has no plans as yet to speak outside New York. In New York, he avoids mentioning Goldwater whenever possible. Last week he was interrupted in the midst of a speech for Senator Keating by a woman who demanded: "Say something about Goldwater." Replied Rocky coolly: "We're here to elect Republicans from top to bottom." Rockefeller will introduce Goldwater for a speech in Albany this week, but Goldwater aides in New York have pretty much abandoned any hope of pressuring either Ken Keating...
Premier Nguyen Khanh is like a kid's bell-bottom punch toy. No sooner is he knocked flat than he's up and grinning, ready for another foul blow. Last week the swat of a rebellious fist seemed to knock Khanh cockeyed, but within moments he was back on his feet-ready to be knocked down again...
...Hiroshi Teshigahara, 37, is a cinema masterpiece. Deep, original, strange, it propounds the parable of a young teacher (Eiji Okada again) who takes a field trip to an isolated duneland, misses the last train, accepts an invitation from the village elders to sleep in a shack at the bottom of a sand pit.

Last week earthquakes of unprecedented ferocity were about to produce tidal waves that would drown almost anyone in the U.S. who did not happen to be standing on Pikes Peak. To counteract these H-breakers, the sub had to blast them with H-bombs before they got rolling. For one hour, on land...
...petty gambler and four-times-convicted felon. Yet as one lawyer remarked, "It has become almost axiomatic that the great rights which are secured for all of us by the Bill of Rights are constantly tested and retested in the courts by the people who live in the bottom of society's barrel." Gideon is a classic type of the cussedly independent man. His 22-page letter from jail (Lewis quotes it in full) to Washington Lawyer Abe Fortas, who was appointed to represent him before the Supreme Court, is an autobiographic gem that ranks with the famous letter...
