...Second Vatican Council in 1965, an American reporter compared Vatican watching with Kremlin watching-unfavorably. The Kremlin, he argued, at least had some concern for world opinion. The comparison may have been exaggerated, but it reflected the traditional frustrations of newsmen trying to cover the capital of Roman Catholicism. Until 1966, for instance, there was no official Vatican press officer or any individual who could be singled out as a "Vatican spokesman." Even after the press office was set up, a reporter might wait a week to have a question answered, and then perhaps only with a "No comment." Newsmen...
They're attractive ... intelligent ... desirable ... interesting ... American ... girls. And essentially they are saying "If I have a vaginal odor problem, it's O. K. for you to have a vaginal odor problem, acknowledge it, and do something about it ... " The nearest comparison I could make is the Clairol advertising. Up until that time (Clairol started advertising) the idea of dying your hair was associated with whores and, you know, not-so-nice people.

During roughly 10 percent of OSO's observation time, according to Reeves, ground-based observers take simultaneous measurements for later comparison with the satellite's data. Most of these cooperating astronomers have worked from the U.S.A., but scientists in Russia, Israel, and several other nations have also coordinated their observation schedules with...
Jean-Luc Godard would certainly resent the comparison, but he makes movies the way some manufacturers make washing machines-with planned obsolescence. Only a few years after their release, Godard films become museum pieces. His innovations are adopted by other film makers, who (like Haskell Wexler in the kinetic Medium Cool) either put his techniques to better dramatic use or (like Agnes Varda in the festival's ludicrous Lions Love) sink beneath the weight of aimless stylistic decoration. Le Go/ Savoir features Jean-Pierre Léaud and Juliet Berto sitting around a TV studio engaging...
...other new variety offering is, by comparison, antediluvian. The title, Jimmy Durante Presents the Lennon Sisters Hour, says it all. The 76-year-old vaudevillian co-stars with four sisters who, though the oldest is not quite 30, are all 14-year veterans of The Lawrence Welk Show. The standard finale of their series will be an upbeat musical tribute to a city. Opening night it was Chicago (that toddlin' town), which the girls cheerily hymned as "the convention center of the nation...
