...start of this season, though, Chamberlain carried his selfless one-for-all tactics from the sublime to the ridiculous. He continued to set up plays and engulf the backboards. But presumably on the theory that the less he scored, the better Philadelphia fared, Wilt hardly went for the basket at all. In his first 16 games, he averaged only 15 points. Against the Warriors last month he scored exactly one point-on a foul shot-and did not so much as attempt a field goal in the entire game...
...Schlesinger betrays the work with anachronistic tricks-slowmotion footage or distorted lenses-and the film's stately pace sometimes grinds to a standstill. As Hardy did, Schlesinger relies on the countryside to give the story its character. Benign or brooding, the huge hillocks and gun-metal skies gradually engulf the people and dwarf even their grandest moments. At last, every object of admiration-including Julie Christie, whose sensual beauty has never been more sensuously photographed-is made to be only a mere and minor part of England's green, unpleasant land...

The Administration does, however, fear that unless it acts decisively in Vietnam, "wars of national liberation"--which it has defined as a new style of "aggression"-- will engulf the underdeveloped world as surely and easily as Hitler's armies rolled across Europe...

The Administration views the underdeveloped world as a dry tinderbox of social and economic injustice ruled by weak and inept regimes; it believes that a spark from China may engulf the whole third world in revolutionary flames; it fears the emergency of increasing numbers of "regimes responsive to Peiping's will." How tenable are these views of "wars of national liberation...
...crystalline Egyptian sunlight, 130 miles up the Nile from Luxor. It was originally dedicated to two Egyptian brothers, Petesi and Pihor, who had been drowned in the Nile. When the rising waters of the 300-mile-long lake formed by the Aswan High Dam similarly threatened to engulf their sanctuary, the Egyptian government had it dismantled into 650 pieces in 1962. The temple was offered to the U.S. in gratitude for a $16 million U.S. contribution toward saving older and larger temples, including Abu Simbel...
