...polls might be alarming, but the body language was fine. That, at any rate, was the view of Psychologist-Author Ernst Beier (People-Reading), who diagnosed Jimmy Carter's debating style. "Swiveling shoulders and licking his lips," Carter has a definite edge over Gerald Ford, "the wooden Indian." It was one of the best things said about the swiveling Carter campaign all week...

The great pioneer who weaved sound and image together was the legendary Ernst Lubitsch. Not so legendary now, but quite the early virtuoso was Rouben Mamoulian. Mamoulian seemed to be experimenting constantly. His most accepted successes were on the stage (he directed the original stage version of "Porgy and Bess" for example) but his pictures exude a creative excitement that seems...
