That was an opening for U.D.I.'s opponents, and they made the most of it. The Rhodesia Herald demanded a plebiscite. Three former Prime Ministers spoke out publicly to urge caution. The Tobacco Trade Association and the Chamber of Commerce warned that U.D.I, would bring "catastrophe," and a delegation of business and farm leaders went to Smith to argue against it. In prominent newspaper ads calling on all who opposed U.D.I, to send in their names to be counted, the Rhodesian Constitutional Association observed acidly that "no evidence has been given to the electorate that failure to get independence...
Jean-Luc Godard (Breathless, Contempt), presently riding the crest of the New Wave, began the festival with his most recent film, Alphaville. His hero, Lemmy Caution, is a cross between Dick Tracy and Flash Gordon, spiced with a touch of Humphrey Bogart. (At one point we catch Caution reading The Big Sleep.) Godard lets his imagination run wild as his comic-strip hero battles the computer-king of a super-mechanized science fiction city. Neon signs flash mathematical formulas across the screen, and the computer growls instructions from what looks like a CBS recording studio...

A mad scientist from New York, Dr. Von Braun, has imposed the computer on the helpless Alphavillians. Only another New Yorker, like Caution, can cope with such an environment...
...Free Strikes. But, for all the safeguards, mistakes are made and civilians hurt, which is why Westmoreland last week tightened the leash on his weaponry still further with another memorandum demanding greater caution. Hard on its heels came an Air Force decree tightening control over some 200 "free-strike zones" at which pilots had been free to blast away at will. Henceforth FAC planes will patrol each of the known Viet Cong zones, pinpoint strikes within them as in the rest of South Viet Nam. A B-52 raid originally planned for the big allied sweep...
...technique, five persistent investigators at the University of Sydney have now duplicated his experiment, demonstrating that Down Under water will drain clockwise. To be sure they report in the magazine Nature, they cannot conclusively prove that it was the earth, not the swirl. But, with proper scientific caution, they add: "We have acquired confidence in the Hypothesis." Shapiro is unsurprised. He sees a certain "esthetic symmetry" in the results, points out that with the proper tub and reasonable patience, man could have proved the rotation of the earth 1,000 years...
