CROPS. Even some farmers are speculating in a way. Last year Illinois Farmer Elliott Y. Johnson, 51, earned 50% more than in 1972 because the price of the produce he sold more than doubled. Soybeans, for example, rose to $8.60 per bu., from $3.65. Johnson held back more than half his harvest for sale this year, when prices could go still higher. Meanwhile, he plans to buy a new $19,000 tractor and make expensive improvements on his grain elevator. "Now," Johnson chuckles, "is a real good tune for a farmer to be paying off his debts...
...brutal and mangy as it is, the movie still works. It is an adept and forceful B picture, deriving much of its energy from its own streamlined sleaziness and from the skills of its two stars, Elliott Gould and Robert Blake. Both of them have a kind of sour, dehydrated charm that is nicely used by Director-Writer Hyams, whose most notable previous effort was the screenplay for the noxious T.R. Baskin. Gould and Blake play a couple of L.A. vice cops who are offhandedly conscientious about their work and cynical about its results. Their superiors, ever mindful of valuable...
When U.S. District Court Judge J. Robert Elliott abruptly ended the 35-month confinement of Army Lieut. William L.

Calley, 30, has also enjoyed almost...
...avenues until my conviction is reversed, I am released completely and forever, and my name is cleared." Meanwhile the review of Calley's case by Army Secretary Howard H. Callaway has already begun. Callaway, or President Nixon when he reviews the case later, could reduce it, as Judge Elliott observed when he ordered Calley's release. In fact, said the judge, Calley may already have been confined longer than required by a possible reduced sentence...
THURSDAY: Marlowe. 1970. One of a legion of films made from Raymond Chandler's private-eye novels, this one falls flat in the fast company. James Garner is just not a very credible Marlowe for those who have seen Bogart in "The Big Sleep." For good Marlowe, see Elliott Gould in "The Long Goodbye" at the Harvard Square this week.
