Perhaps the freshest play is Ptakovina, by Milan Kundera, who is one of those fighting to keep the writers' union committed to the liberalization program of 1968. Kundera's novel of Czech Stalinism, The Joke, has the directness of a fist in the face; it has been made into a film shown at Cannes this year. Ptakovina is a made-up word, literally "Birdtrick," meaning stupidity...
Richard Nixon? Making jokes on a TV comedy show with a bunch of weirdos? You bet, as they say, your sweet bippy. Everybody and his myna bird wants to make a cameo appearance on Rowan and Martin's manic Monday night affair. It is the smartest, freshest show on television.

As the vamp, Anne Bancroft is appropriately sly and predatory, and Katharine Ross, as her daughter, possesses one of the freshest new faces in Hollywood. But the screenplay, which begins as genuine comedy, soon degenerates into spurious melodrama. Moreover, Director Nichols, perhaps affected by his stage experience, has given much of the film the closed-in air of a studio set. Like Nichols himself, The Graduate appears to be a victim of the sophomore jinx...
