...GLASS BOOTH. Robert Shaw indulges in some pop psychologizing in this complicated yarn about a Jewish business tycoon in Manhattan who is uncovered as a Nazi war criminal, then brought to trial in Tel Aviv, where he is uncovered again as a Jewish concentration-camp prisoner from World War II. Even the amazingly agile acting of Donald Pleasence and the sensitive direction of Harold Pinter cannot give substance, theatrical or philosophical, to a spurious script...

...more than one machine in his 72 years. He became a Bolshevik a year before the Russian Revolution in 1917 and was a party member in good standing until arrested in Stalin's widespread purges of the mid-1930s. Not long after he was released from a labor camp, after Stalin's death in 1953, his daughter Nina gained posthumous fame in the Soviet Union as Russia's Anne Frank. At the age of 20, she had been executed by the Nazis for her part in a partisan raid, and her diary of the dark days...

Were the Democrats about to pull off an upset that would dwarf even Harry Truman's defeat of Thomas Dewey exactly 20 years earlier? For the pessimists in Nixon's camp, there were portents aplenty. The usually reliable New York Daily News straw poll gave Humphrey a 3.3-point lead in New York.

Amidst the mounting unease in the Nixon camp, the candidate was one of the few who appeared confident, if visibly strained in the end. Part of it, perhaps, was the politician's façade. But part was genuine. This was, after all, his last chance and it would hardly do to lose control at the very end. Pooh-poohing the pollsters, Nixon predicted that he would outdraw Humphrey by 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 votes...

Originally viewed in the Nixon camp as a hard-working but unobtrusive No. 2 man, the Maryland Governor was indeed industrious. He was anything but unobtrusive. In three months, "Agnewism" became virtually a synonym of "malapropism," and Democrats got good mileage out of such comments as "If you've seen one slum, you've seen them all." A Democratic TV commercial consisted of the simple legend "Agnew for Vice President?"?and nearly 30 seconds of laughter...
