...DeSalvo to extract the confession that he wants. Unfortunately, the finesse in the interrogation ends there. The camera cuts in for overly searching closeups of Curtis, whose baggy faces droops a millimeter or two as he finally coughs up the secrets of his "other self." To let even the dullest know what's happening, a hand-held camera stumbles behind the strangler re-enacting--in the psychic presence of Bottomley--one of his slayings. A few multiple image projections here, as throughout the film, serve mainly to drain whatever fear, fascination, or other emotion the strangler might evoke, reducing...
...took Ludke aside to question him. The admiral at first lamely explained that someone must have stolen the Minox to take the pictures.

And that's how it looks again this year. In one of the dullest seasons in years-with the result that attendance is down 5% from 1967 -neither league can lay claim to anything remotely resembling a pennant race. In the National League last week, the St. Louis Cardinals were coasting along with a steady 61-game lead; in the American, the Detroit Tigers were...
