BADLANDS. The affectless, antiseptic world of two young killers delineated with hard skill by Director-Writer Terrence Malick. A chilly, forbidding work that catches currents of casual violence which seem typically American...
...Borein (1872-1945) never achieved the celebrity of such Western artists as Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell. He drifted from cowpunching along the Pacific Coast into a successful career of drawing what he had seen, later hung out with friends like Will Rogers and Walt Disney. This casual, sympathetic biography does not gloss over Borein's somewhat stiff draftsmanship or his penchant for sentimental vistas that would have embarrassed Hollywood set designers. But collectors of Western memorabilia value Borein for the literal accuracy of his work. And when he applied brush and watercolors to certain subjects-a bucking...
...first group of casual listeners, then you will be easy to satisfy. The special combinations--package, amplifier, tuner, turntable and speakers--represent excellent buys. Clip out newspaper advertisements and then visit a few stores to see and listen. The turntable--usually a Garrard--and receivers will be decidedly mediocre.

The Enigma...
Bottoms Pinched. Not 'arf bad for a series dreamed up over a casual Sunday lunch during which Marsh and Atkins discovered they both had parents who had been "in service." They were sick of seeing servants portrayed as scene transitions: "You know, 'here's your hat, sir,' or having their bottoms pinched." Neither woman did anything to rectify the situation until a year later, when an actress boasted to Jean that she had landed a plum part. "I was furiously jealous," says Jean, who immediately called a producer friend. "What do I do with an idea...
