...after the mission has been accomplished-at a terrible cost. The first of the twelve dies as they parachute into occupied France. The other eleven stay alive long enough to enter the target, a huge château staffed and stuffed with German brass. Abruptly the place begins to chatter with crossfire and exploding grenades. One by one, the dirty dozen get knocked off as they kill most of the officers and blow the building to bits in some of the loudest, bloodiest battle scenes since Darryl Zanuck made his armies work The Longest Day. In the end, Marvin makes...
...Named Tiran. To the relief of the world, the flaming battle had not yet come, and diplomats in Europe and the U.S. were trying hard to see to it that it did not (see THE NATION). But the guns had already begun to chatter. For the first time, an unsettling outbreak of incidents took place along the front?any one of which might have touched off wider war if either side had really wanted it. In the first combat deaths of the crisis, two Israeli soldiers and a Syrian guerrilla were killed when an Israeli patrol clashed with a group...
...Communist and socialist groups descended from the old, pre-World War II left, though they share many of their aims and indiscriminately welcome their presence in any sit-in, teach-in or bein.

A sympathetic historian of the New Left, Author Jack Newfield, declares sweepingly: "DuBois members are just not hung-up by the same things S.D.S.ers are. They don't make embarrassing...
SURREALISTIC PILLOW (RCA Victor). Jefferson Airplane (i.e., Grace, Paul, Jorma, Jack, Spencer and Marty) takes a trip to the accompaniment of psychedelic clatter and barely audible chatter about blowin' their minds. White Rabbit ("One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small") is an eerie echo of Lewis Carroll's Alice, that mop-haired, pioneering freak-out and her oldtimey, mind-blowing Wonderland. The Airplane likes to blur and disconnect its musical phrases, creating the aural equivalent of double vision...
...Clever Chatter. With Collier cast as the mother, Composer Levy had to alter the role from mezzo to soprano; he also changed the role of her son from tenor to baritone. That was regrettable. Though John Reardon as the son and Sherill Milnes as the lover both performed superbly, the pairing of two baritones and two sopranos robbed the vocal writing of contrast. More damaging was the fact that Levy's mildly modern score, conducted by Zubin Mehta, did not meet the challenge of the theme, too often resorted to clever percussive chattering that seemed to say "crisis coming...
