Indeed, there has been an ironic turnabout by academics and liberals who once excoriated members of Congress as moss-backed obstructionists retarding the social legislation of F.D.R., Truman and Kennedy. Now such critics attack Congressmen for acquiescing in the war policies of Johnson and Nixon, and for not obstructing more.

Feeding Time. For the crocodile scene, for instance, Saltzman and Broccoli carved out a pond on a crocodile and alligator farm in Jamaica.

The Pentagon's budget suffers. Lately an angry audience of Congressmen, fed up with the repetitive drama, has been clamoring for the Pentagon to get tougher with defense contractors. Last week Grumman Corp. of Bethpage, Long Island, talked tough in return as it argued the basic question of who pays for cost overruns: the contractor or the taxpayers? The company risked...
