DONOVAN: CATCH THE WIND (Hickory). At 19, Donovan (born Donovan Leitch) is already known as the British Dylan for his original composition, his crude, nasal voice and whining harmonica. Unlike Dylan, he is more blue than bitter, ignores contemporary complaints to mine the more traditional folk lode-unrequited love, loneliness and rootless ramblings...
...industry, the byproducts of a cleanup often offset part of the costs. Los Angeles County's oil refineries strip smelly hydrogen sulphide from crude oil, convert it to 450 tons a day of marketable sulphur. Boston Edison Co. mines vanadium from its oil-fired smoke, exports it to Belgium. For the nation, air and water cleanups mean a huge saving in dollars as well as in health. An air cleanup alone would save $11 billion a year that is now wasted on extra cleaning, painting, corrosion and damage to crops and property...

Films have developed more sensitive means of conveying states of consciousness than expressionism...

So Stingley took it to Wham O Manufacturing Co. in San Gabriel, Calif., the company that made juvenile history by producing...
...Waugh, Director Richardson and his associates flail away at momism, nepotism, space-age technology, dirty old men, antiSemitism, anything. They treat the audience to a series of small, distasteful shocks, but as black comedy gives way to bald effrontery, even the shock wears off The Loved One seems as crude and pointless as a schoolboy's Halloween prank like tipping over tombstones or throwing a stink bomb into the parsonage...
