...Humphrey has been accused of being Johnson's "water boy," of playing Robin to the President's Batman, of "betraying the liberal movement," of being more militaristic than the generals. The latest attack came last week from Robert G. Sherrill, who is publishing an acerbic book on Humphrey to follow his acerbic book on Johnson. In a foretaste published in the Nation, Sherrill implies that Humphrey unconsciously doubts his own masculinity, calls him a "weeping hawk,"* a "pudgy huckster," and impugns his commitment to any abiding convictions...

Plans for a new bridge on the old site are already under...

Benjamin is a frivolous froth of a costume piece, dedicated to the proposition that upper-class sex in 18th century France was frisky, witty, pretty and piquant. The Young Girls of Roche fort, a disappointing follow-up to Jacques Demy's ethereal The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, is a treacly dollop of banality. But Belle de Jour is Bufiuel...
