Passer--I haven't seen his other feature, a 1965 Czech comedy cum pathos called Intimate Lighting--seems able to get what he wants out of actors and settings, including a new side to George Segal--but he hasn't done enough yet to know what he should want. Where Milos (Taking Off) Forman maintains comedy almost consistently, and John Schlesinger in Midnight Cowboy--another New York film by a non-American--invests even his comedy with mournfulness. Passer switches erratically from the theatrical, wisecracking comedy when Segal performs so well to genuine gutwrenching--to say nothing...

...District of Columbia Circuit. A photograph of Barry Goldwater has a prominent place on one wall of his chambers; last year he fired a law clerk reportedly for signing an antiwar petition. But his logical judicial reasoning commands the respect of both liberals and conservatives. He was a magna cum laude graduate of Yale and made a reputation as one of Washington's ablest trial lawyers. One client: former Communist Party Chief Earl Browder, indicted for contempt of Congress in 1950 and acquitted the next year...
Died. John Mecklin, 53, journalist; of cancer; in Fairfield, Conn. A cum laude graduate of the Ernie Pyle school, Mecklin began covering the world's wars in 1942 as a correspondent for the United Press in the Mediterranean theater. Then, broadening his scope, he cabled his battlefield and political reports to TIME from Indochina and the Middle East. Mecklin's service as U.S. Public Affairs Officer chief in Saigon from 1962 to 1964 provided the background for his book, Mission in Torment, a widely praised account of the Viet Nam conflict's early years. Later, he became...
