...ruddy-faced, humorous ex-divinity student (Lutheran) who likes to dwell on food when he is not thinking about key signatures. While rehearsing a Haydn Notturno for his second concert, he says, "I told the orchestra, 'This music was intended to be played after a heavy dinner of turtle soup, a souffle, duckling, venison, ice, and crepe suzette! And now play with all that in your stomach.' They understood...
...majored in directing at the Yale Drama School." Disdaining the usual directorial flourishes, he told his crew, Rachel-style: "I'm a virgin and I need your help." He coached Actress Woodward-his wife-in whispers and in a sort of private language. He had the camera dwell on her lovingly, so much so that one friend described the movie as Newman's "wallet." As a result, he infects the brief love affair with a tenuousness that everyone but Rachel can detect, and infuses the air of the small town with a palpable melancholy and unquiet desperation...
...even bounty could not overcome the ethnic facts that have split Nigeria?as distinctly as the steady current of the K-shaped river system that forms its skeleton?into three separate regions. To the north, living on flat grassland that backs up to Sahara sands, dwell the Hausa and Fulani, haughty, devout Moslem peoples governed locally by feudal emirs.

So I will gave a blanket endorsement to all the players for their surpassing intelligence and sensitivity and dwell on one. I have usually found male leads at Harvard unimpressive and Tommy Jones, in particular, has seemed to be not quite right in his previous parts. In this play however, Jones, is a startling presence--uncrowded in his movements, silken in speech, his mettle is of high quality...
...Kennedy had a good deal of trouble getting his dreams across. Most of the nation's newspapers seemed more anxious to catch his occasional slips, to dwell on his so-called "ruthlessness," than to explain--or even just to analyze--the thrust of his campaign. In their zeal to discuss Joe McCarthy and wiretapping, editorial writers somehow forgot that Bob Kennedy defended the right of Americans to send material aid to North Vietnam and fought bills to cut back the Supreme Court's landmark criminal procedure decisions. They refused to admit that the Bob Kennedy who relentlessly exposed the costs...
