Without Majestic Prince, how does the Belmont shape up? There are three logical contenders. Dike ran down on his heels in the Derby. He is a one-run horse bred for distance who skipped the Preakness to heal and rest. He and/or his stablemate Jay Ray (third in the Preakness) have a shot at winning. 30 per cent chance...
Arts and Letters, a late developing three-year-old, has been trained by a master. Eliot Burch has trained other Belmont Stakes winners (Sword Dancer, Quadrangle), and probably has another in the small but long-striding son of the undefeated Ribot. Bred for the classic mile-and-a-half distance, this horse will finally have a chance to show his class on the long backstretch at Belmont. There will be no tight turns to prevent this horse from reaching his best stride. He should win convincingly. 50 per cent chance...

The presence of the Israelis along the Canal is a constant reminder of the superiority of the Arabs' foe and ? what is far harder for the Arabs to bear ? of their own continuing inferiority and impotency despite their greater numbers of people, planes, tanks, guns and resources.

Left over are a Mexican villain (Omar Sharif), leathery Marshal Mackenna (Gregory Peck), one surly, burly Apache and two obligatory ladies.

The Indian maiden (Julie Newmar) is a red-skinned Stupefyin' Jones, left over from the musical Li'I Abner. In the movie's sole sex scene, she is submerged in a tarn, seemingly nudish but actually prudish in a body stocking...
Rescue by the Army. Maclnnes is a native alien even at home, a man bred to the observation of outsiders from inside. He is a Scotsman born in London, reared in Australia. His mother was Novelist Angela Thirkell. Maclnnes escaped Australia and a law scholarship in 1930 at 16, spent five years in Brussels, a businessman by grace of a family connection, but by nature a bohemian who spent much of his time "consorting with writers, painters, musicians." For three years in London he studied painting, "until I was rescued by the army." After the war, he joined BBC Radio...
