...absence made no legislative hearts grow fonder. "The People Are Watching." Last week, as the legislature entered its final hours, it suddenly became clear that Rocky's feet were being held to the fire on his home-state hearth. Republicans controlled both assembly (85 to 65) and senate (33 to 25). But three of Rocky's favorite legislative proposals -outlawing full-crew railroad featherbedding practices, revising the 30-year-old state liquor laws and creating a tough legislative code of ethics-were deep in trouble.

...Fiancés, the second movie made by a 32-year-old Italian named Ermanno Olmi, will probably become a cinema classic. Director Olmi tells an almost too simple story of how absence makes two hearts grow fonder, but he tells it with total mastery of his means...

Nor does his gaping absence record (he missed 51% of roll calls in 1960) make congressional hearts grow fonder. Negro Democrat Powell campaigned for Republican Dwight Eisenhower in" 1956, campaigned for Democrat Jack Kennedy in 1960. He is under indictment for filing a fraudulent income-tax return. But because his Harlem constituents, spellbound by years of racist oratory, have sent him to Congress for nine uninterrupted terms. Congressman Powell last week inherited...
