Bogdanovich picks good models and adds good ideas to his petty thievery. Bobby Thompson's execution of his wife and mother superbly blends diverse gimmicks (stop motion shots, wide angle distortion) into a well-conceived unity. A close moving shot along the floor after the corpses are removed reveals some loose change which fell out of the mother's house coat as she died--truly a good touch, as is Bobby's compulsive neatness: a bit of calculated direction about which I would be more sanguine were Bogdanovich's own camera style less neat and precise. These are better than...
...master of corporate tactics and intrigue. Talese calls him a "Times-man in the old sense, a man emotionally committed to the institution as a way of life, a religion, a cult." As Washington bureau chief in the early '60s, Reston developed a first-class staff and a close friendship with the publisher, the late Orvil Dryfoos (husband of an Ochs granddaughter). It was virtually impossible for editors in New York to over rule Reston, even though some out ranked him. "His artistry as an administrator could not be measured simply by the fact that he usually...

In an earlier game, the same officials, who keep count of the plays by looping a rubber band around their first, second, third or fourth finger, lost track and had to call the press box to find out what down...

Though the Globolinks are immune to man's weapons, it turns out that they are allergic to the sound of music. After a number of close encounters, they are defeated by a band of schoolchildren singing their school victory march...
Friendly for Years. Lazard Freres owes its capital coup to the network of personal contacts carefully constructed by its French-born senior partner, Andre Meyer, 70. A close friend of World Bank President Robert McNamara and of outgoing Treasury Secretary Henry Fowler,* Meyer has been an adviser to Jacqueline Onassis, a trustee of Joseph Kennedy's estate and an economic consultant to President Johnson. He has long been friendly with both Smith and Deming and is particularly close to Lewis, who worked for Lazard Freres for eight years before going to Washington...
