Feinstein's movie has everything a movie about his subject should have, I guess: social protest, flower children, music (The Electric Flag, Peter Yarrow, Paul Butterfield, Tiny Tim) and the accompanying dances, psychedelic sequences, meditation, grass, sex. He has filmed the whole thing with the wild abandon we presumably associate with hippiedom: the camera bounces up and down, zooms in and out, swings all over the place. Similarly, the picture has been flamboyantly edited; no sequence stays on the screen very long, and Feinstein often cuts back to bits he has established earlier. Still, for all its airs of freedom...
...contrast, Humphrey's demonstration that he could do well without Eugene McCarthy's flower power threw the Minnesota Senator's future into serious doubt. The doubt grows even deeper if one considers his odd behavior during the campaign, during which he first refused to endorse Humphrey and then finally did so only grudgingly. Two weeks ago, he declared that "I will not be a candidate of my party for reelection to the Senate from the state of Minnesota in 1970.

Immortality as a Flower. Everything went. Mrs. Alfonso J. Cervantes, wife of the St. Louis mayor, happily bid $750 for half a ton of bacon, explaining that she has six boys and a Mexican exchange student all living in her house.

...intends to use it in the sunken garden she is growing. "I'm taking their word for it that it's good fertilizer," she says. "It should be, at $3 a pound." As pleased as any was Mrs. Allen Portnoy, who bid for immortality as a flower: the Missouri Botanical Garden will name its next discovery after her. Said her husband, writing out a $200 check, "My wife said she always wanted to be a philodendron." Happiest of all was Council President Homer E. Sayad, who totted up the bids, found the auction had netted the council...
...from his Algerian countrymen, whose basic attitude toward living left no room for abstract speculation. An old woman buys her own tomb and grows to love it. This teaches Camus the value of the present moment: "Let me cut this minute from the cloth of time. Others leave a flower between pages, enclosing in them a walk where love has touched them with its wing. I walk too, but am caressed by a god. Life is short, and it is sinful to waste one's time...
