...York has always had its detractors, and out-of-towners often find odd comfort and perverse joy in discussing its faults and inconveniences. But many people who once loved the city are now regretfully finding their passion growing cold. "There's a morale factor that's missing," says Marion Javits, wife of the New York Senator, "that magic and loveliness I used to adore. More than ever, the people are not lovely, or gentle, or likely to say 'excuse me.' It's as though New York no longer feels loved." While New Yorkers may feel...
Fogged Windows. The space doctors' worst fear-that the cold-plagued astronauts would suffer ear damage during re-entry-was not realized. As Apollo's cabin pressure was raised from the 5.3 Ibs. per sq. in. maintained during space flight to sea-level pressure of 14.7 p.s.i., the astronauts protected their ears by removing their helmets and performing the "Valsalva maneuver" (named for its inventor, the 18th century Italian anatomist Antonio Valsalva).

But after it has squeezed its last smirks from a lisping fetishist who makes love to women's handbags, the movie abruptly shifts direction. The downhill half is a quasi-documentary, reminiscent of In Cold Blood, complete with textbook-spouting psychiatrist and brooding intellectual lawyer (Henry Fonda). Fleischer obviously wants it both ways, but he gets neither. The black comedy is only dirty grey, and the psychiatric probing is reduced to a few slick optical allusions when DeSalvo crosses into zones of hallucination during Fonda...
