More and more, the commandos operate as a state within a state. They occupy the Jordan River's East Bank and defy government requests that camouflage-uniformed fedayeen stay off the streets of Amman. When a Bedouin army unit tried to disarm a group of commandos at a checkpoint outside the capital last week, Fedayeen Leader Yasser Arafat rolled up two jeeploads of commandos and threatened to shoot his way through. The army backed down...
...comic promise and beginning of a vapid farce of mistaken-identity crises. Morse's co-star is Doris Day, playing a pulpy, gulpy Broadway actress named Margaret Garrison, whose bed he blunders into by mistake. To disarm audiences-and possibly critics-she sometimes refers to herself as the Constant Virgin, a sobriquet Doris has actually earned in half a dozen previous films, pursued by the likes of Gary Grant and Rock Hudson but remaining a freckle-faced iron maiden to the fadeout. In this picture, she is equipped with a husband (Patrick O'Neal), but by pouting continually...
...were empowered to reject applicants for a permit to own a weapon, they would do so capriciously or on the basis of personal or political prejudice. Not surprisingly, such Negro militants as California's Black Panthers are dead set against gun registration, maintaining that it would be used to disarm them.

Under Article VII any country can withdraw within 3 months "if it decides that extraordinary events, related to the subject matter of this treaty, have jeopardized the supreme interests of its country," This...
Mind Bender. After a wrenching struggle, Dullea manages to disarm the mutinous Hal just as Discovery I enters the orbit of Jupiter. There he sees the object of his trip-the omnipotent slab. He heads for it, and suddenly conventional dimensions vanish. An avalanche of eerie, kinetic effects attacks the eye and bends the mind. Kubrick turns the screen into a planetarium gone mad and provides the viewer with the closest equivalent to psychedelic experience this side of hallucinogens. At the end, beyond time and space, Dullea apparently learns the secret of the universe-only to find that, as Churchill...
