LeRoi Jones, 33, the snarling laureate of Negro revolt, has distilled his rage against white America in poems and plays whose spectrum has room only for black. "The Black Artist must teach the White Eyes their deaths," Jones writes. And when Newark, his birthplace, was aflame with Negro rioting last July, Jones appeared bent on augmenting his words with action. Heading into the eye of the violence, police testified, Jones had concealed a brace of pearl-handled .32-cal. revolvers beneath the dashboard of his green camper bus and under the folds of his multihued African dashike tunic...
...concerned with making his paintings fill the viewer's whole field of vision. The 9-ft. by 6-ft. portraits, mostly of naked women, which he executes in steely tones, have an unnerving frontality arising from the fact that Leslie's brush goes beyond what the naked eye would see. He cunningly divides his figures into four sections, then paints head, chest, abdomen and thighs separately, each viewed from eye level.

Director Marco Bellocchio's family name means "beautiful eye"- and European cinema buffs are satisfied that it is a highly suitable patronym. On the basis of only two films, they are already hailing Bellocchio as Italy's brightest movie light since Antonioni. The 28-year-old son of a lawyer from Piacenza, Bellocchio won the Silver Ribbon, Italy's Oscar, with his very first effort, Fists in the Pocket (1965). His China Is Near (1966) won the special jury award at last summer's Ven ice Film Festival. Both films are now being released...
...true: Rita Tushingham and Lynn Redgrave are not female reincarnations of Laurel and Hardy. At first blush it must have looked like a great idea-Lynn is a great big broth of a girl whose eye-batting optimism thinly masks a steely and ruthless ineptitude; Rita, with the wispy, downtrodden look of a disgruntled rodent, is obviously born to be picked on. Moreover, the girls did awfully well together in the comic moments of 1964's The Girl with Green Eyes...
