Something Still Wrong? Inevitably, the Legion now appears too liberal to some, still too cautious to others. Roman Catholic Film Critic William Mooring, whose "Hollywood in Focus" column is syndicated in 41 diocesan newspapers, charges that "moderates" have been replaced in the ranks of Legion reviewers by liberals-"chiefly influenced by Jesuits"-who have an unCatholic tolerance for immoral movies. But many people agree with America's film critic Moira Walsh, herself a Legion consultor, who argues that something is still wrong with a rating system that can condemn a serious attempt at cinema art like The Pawnbroker...
...LIFE OF DYLAN THOMAS, by Constantine FitzGibbon. Besides being a genius, Welsh Poet Dylan Thomas was also a perennial problem child who mooched off his friends and slept with their wives, ignored his children, and drank ceaselessly. FitzGibbon, a friend of Thomas', brings the two images brilliantly into focus as he follows the poet from a spoiled childhood through a tempestuous marriage to a premature death in America from an overdose of whisky...

...unforgiveably tried to wring emotion from a stone-dry script, presumably to titillate the crowd in the Broadway bleachers. In imitation of Luther, or perhaps even The Sound of Music, Cacoyannis punctuates the play with obnoxious Gregorian chant. His minor characters, whom Whiting wisely kept undeveloped to preserve focus, become caricature roles of great distraction. Cacoyannis also revives The Trojan Woman by turning the Ursuline Nuns into a Greek chorus...
...material studied in the first year covers a great range. Students get an overall view of management which helps them to refine their focus in subsequent years. We were exposed to the basic areas of business: accounting, finance, production, and marketing, as well as the newer administrative techniques, such as computer methodology and statistical analysis. Our Gen Ed Ahf equivalent in the first year is called "Written Analysis of Cases," and demands biweekly papers which are due on Saturday evenings and graded by girls recently graduated from college...
