...that a number of states are liberalizing their laws to permit more therapeutic abortions, the A.M.A. also conceded that its 1871 rule against abortion, except "with a view to the safety of the child," was "antiquated." "Change and reform in this area are inevitable," said the policy statement. It condoned abortions on essentially the same grounds as those recommended by the American Law Institute, already voted into law in Colorado, North Carolina and California. Among the differences: the A.M.A. would require "documented medical evidence" of the need for an abortion, and rape or incest would have to be "legally established...
Reedy Skittering. That is only one of the handicaps Adler has faced over the years. In 1949, after he was accused of being a Communist sympathizer, he went into professional exile from the U.S., making London his concert, TV and recording base as well as his home.* Except for a year-long sojourn in 1959, he has returned only for occasional engagements since...
...August at the Hotel Ozone is a shattering splice of life after the third World War. No one is left alive except eight young women and one old one (Beta Poničanová), who wander like nomads over the sere landscape. The nubile girls have never seen a man; their leader can scarcely remember what one looks like. Equipped with some of the trappings of the defunct civilization-tin cans, rifles, combat boots-they live like savages, telling the years by counting the rings of a tree trunk, hunting by blasting fish out of the river water with grenades...
...Daisies is a hippie's pipe dream that looks and sounds like something concocted by a den member of America's own underground cinema clique. Made with Marxism far less than Harpo, the film is not about anything except itself. Two teen-age girls, labeled Marie I and Marie II (Jitka Cerhová and Ivana Karbonová), live like dolls, chattering and giggling, floundering about in their oversized bed, making a shambles of sets and sense. In scenes suffused with unearthly tints and shades, the girls attack each other with scissors and cut off each other...
...Drifter is a thumb-time hitchhiker and full-time vagabond. Known only as Alan, he sleeps on strange streets and familiar beds, wandering from woman to woman, ending all his relationships with an easygoing "Ciao, baby." Except for that, he has little to say, and less to laugh about. His idea of humor is to retell the ancient jape of the man who asked his mistress, "Do you smoke after?", and received the answer, "I don't know. I'll look next time." Alan, whose ordinariness is well portrayed by Off-Broadway Veteran John Tracy, meanders from Manhattan...
