Sliced Cliché. But after all the tired titillation, freak free verse, exhausted experiment are sifted away, some gold dust and a few sizable nuggets remain. Sanford Friedman's Salamander (in New World Writing) is a sweet, sad, perceptive story of how a seven-year-old New York boy becomes a philosopher. B. H. Friedman's Whisper (in Noble Savage) is a softly sizzling portrait of the big-town big shot caught in the rat race and insisting he loves it. Joseph Kostolefsky, in the same magazine, refashions arty cliché with a lethal satire called...
...Woodward Stakes-under imposts as high as 136 lbs. (Man o' War's top freight: 138 lbs.), over distances as long as two miles, by margins as wide as eight lengths. Says Veteran Thoroughbred Trainer Howard Hoffman: "I'd have to call Kelso a freak-a wonderful freak. He doesn't look like much, but he runs hard, carries weight and takes on all comers. He can win taking the lead or coming from behind. He doesn't seem to care which-as long as he wins...
...seems to be no trick at all. Largely as a consequence of better nutrition, girls mature earlier than ever; the average age of puberty has dropped by 1½ years since 1940.

Now the campus marriage is increasingly common; last year at the University of California, for example, 36% of the day students were married. At the end of this...

All us guys were pretty perturbed when we goofed and scored on that freak round out (this happened at 5:45 of the second set). Gee," he murmured, "did old Manila Folder chew...
...preoccupation of Jean-luc Godard and other young directors with aimlessness may be a symptom for sociologists to analyze rather than reviewers. It seems clear, though, that Michelle Poiccard (Jean-Paul Belmondo), the aimless protagonist of Breatheless, is intriguing because audiences can simultaneously identify him and dismiss him as freak. The film contains little sting or criticism because Godard's semi-comic direction fosters an atmosphere of unreality, almost one of parody. Breathless is thus saved from the pseudo-philosophic qualities that the advertisers and critics have burdened it with. Godard need not and does not comment on Michelle...
