...Ministers may not have the chance to resign. Informed in London of the Cabinet's truckling, a furious Hussein privately spoke of dismissing Talhouni and the Cabinet. It is obvious that Hussein will somehow either have to cow the fedayeen or bow entirely to their will, forgoing any chance of peace with Israel. Last week the largest fedayeen organization, El Fatah, for the first time called a press conference. Its spokesman declared its total rejection of any political settlement in the Middle East. As Hussein returns to his capital this week, the King must be only too well aware...
...irritating, but rarely more than that, and sometimes they're downright effective. Newman's use of camera is, in contrast to the fancy editing, routinely tasteful. The result is an intelligent and mildly absorbing movie of a sort not often seen nowadays. If not glistening with promise, Newman's bow as director nevertheless lacks the arrogance characteristic of a Mike Nichols or a Francis Ford Coppola, both more conventional Hollywood prodigies...
...right of our writers to state publicly their opinions about the moral life of men and society, to elucidate in their own way the social problems or the historical experiences that have so profoundly affected our country.

(The play's being retitled Rockefeller and the Indians for its Broadway bow.) Mr. Howerd could probably be quite funny, if he were not hampered by such handicaps as the script and direction. Perhaps if Mr. Shevelove let his star run wild and ignore the play, Sassafras would draw more laughs than its present quota...
...always been a country girl at heart. Her marvelously adaptable voice takes on a down home inflection, as if she had been raised on corn dodgers and redeye gravy. The best cut is Uncle Joe, a traditional square dance tune in which Buffy starts off playing the mouth bow, followed by a gradual buildup of banjo, bass and fiddle until the entire backing group is involved. The biggest disappointment is Now That the Buffalo's Gone. The waltz tempo with lilting guitar backing totally destroys the electric intensity of the song's drama. In spite of this production...
