However, two fine shorts run the first forty-five minutes at the Brattle, and might alone be worth the price. Both are art-house standards, and worthily so. Luis Bunuel's first film, Un Chien Andalou (a 1928 collaboration with artist-entrepreneur Salvador Dali), will either fascinate or frustrate with its free-association stream of symbols. (If you get completely lost in these fifteen unusual minutes, just remember violence symbolizes sex, the dead mules on the piano symbolize sex, and ants symbolize masturbation.) Exploited sometimes as Bunuel's creation or more accurately as Dali's, Chien Andalou exhibits the most...

From the party's Southern conservative wing emerged Lester Maddox, who waited until last week to join the field. In his nationally televised announcement, the former fried-chicken entrepreneur paraphrased the George Wallace platform, extolling private enterprise and attacking crime, big government, racial violence and the Supreme Court.

Some flights were temporarily suspended by bad weather and the Nigerians' radar-directed antiaircraft fire, but last...
...control its traditional No. 1 crop, scores of white settlers were left without compensation. Now the Socialists in Dar es Salaam are quietly advising some ex-sisal farmers that they can have their plantations back. The government has decided that it is better, after all, for the individual entrepreneur to lose money than for it to take a beating in its budget. Sisal used to be Tanzania's largest export earner: it brought in $61 million as recently as 1964. With slipping prices, the fibers accounted for only $36 million by 1967.
