...Broadway PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM. Woody Allen stars in his new play as Allan Felix, an ex posed ganglion of neuroses, guilts and self-recriminations, whose wife has just left him. Coached by his fantasy hero, Humphrey Bogart, Allan does get a girl-he winds up in bed with his best friend's wife. The play does not properly progress along with the evening, but Allen's kooky angle of vision and nimble jokes are amusement enough...
...revolver-brandishing intruder in his new play, Woody Allen implores, "Don't pull the trigger. I'm a bleeder!" Though no shot is fired, Play It Again, Sam is riddled with laughs. Apart from being a hemophiliac, Allen's latest hero, Allan Felix, is an exposed ganglion of neuroses, guilts and self-recriminations.

...climax comes at the site of the clot, where the navigator (Donald Pleasence) turns out to be an enemy agent, hijacks the sub, and tries to kill the patient by ramming a neural ganglion. Not a second too soon, Hemonaut Boyd sinks the sub with the laser gun. The villain is then devoured, head first, by a white cell that resembles a large, aggressive hominy grit. Whereupon the survivors follow the optic nerve until they squirt out of the tear duct and are rescued from a teardrop that looks like Lake Michigan. And then back, BACK, BACK to normal size...
...strikes against North Viet Nam have been directed primarily against what air intelligence officers like to call the "ganglia" of Communist transportation and communications. Right from the start, the most dangling ganglion of the lot has been Vinh, the largest town in the panhandle of North Viet Nam, and the hub of road, rail and trail routes to the south. Last week U.S. Air Force and Navy planes once again pasted Vinh-this time with 77 tons of bombs. The prime targets now lie closer to Hanoi, and there last week the U.S. lost another fighter-bomber to North Vietnamese...
...works because, on much of the nation's telephone equipment, every call reaching a busy number is shunted away into a ganglion where the busy signal is produced. It is possible, therefore, for everyone getting the same signal to communicate between the beeps on a giant conference call that sounds like a convention of tomcats in an aviary...
