...dies and gentillllmen: the Greatest Show on Earrth!" Charlton Heston, dressed in black boots, white pants, scarlet coat and top hat, was kicking off the celebrity-filled first night of Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey in Los Angeles. Walter Matthau turned up as one of the clowns. "I was raised in an orphanage, and I went to the circus for the first time when I was twelve," Matthau recalled. "It was one of the happiest times of my childhood." Matthau's son Charlie, 10, was crowned King of the Circus. Then came the grand parade of elephants with spangled...
...Neal. The innocence that made him the modern American lover in Love Story and Peyton Place is a confusing image in the tough times of depression Kansas.

The plot of this intermittently interesting science-fiction thriller is about a cop (Charlton Heston) whose investigations lead him to the true and appalling origin of soylent green. The story is rather less notable than the fact that its alarming social prognosis has already become a cliché. It is all too likely that such ecological chaos may occur, but there have been...
...pattern of failure was established during the first five minutes when Charlton Heston, the first of four hosts, failed to show up. Clint Eastwood, looking as if someone had pushed him from the wings, took Heston's place-and immediately ran into trouble with his cue cards. "This isn't my bag, man," he complained to the cameras shortly before Heston, who had been delayed by a flat tire on the Hollywood Freeway, relieved him. And so the night digressed...
