...house, on a disconnected morning, Anastasia comes suddenly upon a little girl (Karen Ascheim), the daughter of a married lover. There is a chilling scene. Two witches in a sun-lit room, mirror images through time. Anastasia confronts her small imp of the perverse, little Pearl in a red frock. What does she feel before that inscrutable child? Envy for times past, fear for the child's future indifference before accusation, shame? Nothing so simple. In that transcendent silence, white spheres of guilt and innocence flash and tumble, collide and fuse. Souls changes places, lose and gain whole years. Nobody...
...rabbis and laymen gathered at the marble-colonnaded Hechal Shlomo (Solomon's Palace) for the first world conference of Orthodox Jewry. Although Orthodoxy is traditionally associated with the ghettos of Europe, more than a fourth of the delegates were American; mingling with rabbis wearing beards and ankle-length frock coats were clean-shaven men in business suits.

"But we do know that it would not be the easy answer-if he believed the hard answer was the right one." Then Johnson quoted the Republican Roosevelt: "Woe to the country where a generation arises which shrinks from doing the rough work...
...LSDisneyland of the Haight Ashbury district, the music is a reflection of the defiant new bohemians, their art nouveau and madly mod fashions. Performances at the Fillmore attempt to induce psychedelic experiences without drugs. The hippies and teenyboppers, wearing everything from Arab caftans and top hats to frock coats and turbans, huddle over sticks of burning incense, casually daub the floors and each other with fluorescent paint...
