...news budget and ratings, tried the most novel approach. Forsaking gavel-to-gavel coverage, it opted for a nightly 90-minute wrap-up of the day's proceedings. While the opposition networks were carrying the early hours of the convention, ABC viewers saw Rat Patrol, Garrison's Gorillas, or an old Jerry Lewis movie. Simultaneously, of course, ABC cameramen were taping the minute-by-minute events on the floor and around town. This footage was quickly edited into an "instant special," which went on at 9:30 p.m. local time. The opening night's 90 minutes...
Thomas Keneally, 32, is an Australian with a pronounced Irish accent. He has found the mythic frame for his novel in the love, rebellion and death of an Irish soldier in the garrison of a penal colony that might have been Sydney, but was historically Port Jackson, 200 years ago. Young Halloran is a corporal and Roman Catholic who has sworn his conscript's oath to the English and Protestant King, George III. He was once destined for the priesthood, and has a Latinate and God-bedazzled turn of mind. Now he guards felons, argues theology with...
...quietly forget the demands made in a quasi-ultimatum issued last month after a meeting in Warsaw with their hard-lining allies. At Cierna, he successfully resisted Soviet insistence that he restore censorship and ban non-Communist political organizations.

More important, he got the Russians to pull out at last thousands of troops that had come to Czechoslovakia in June for Warsaw Pact maneuvers and had never gone home. By the end of the week, Prague reported that...
...comic promise and beginning of a vapid farce of mistaken-identity crises. Morse's co-star is Doris Day, playing a pulpy, gulpy Broadway actress named Margaret Garrison, whose bed he blunders into by mistake. To disarm audiences-and possibly critics-she sometimes refers to herself as the Constant Virgin, a sobriquet Doris has actually earned in half a dozen previous films, pursued by the likes of Gary Grant and Rock Hudson but remaining a freckle-faced iron maiden to the fadeout. In this picture, she is equipped with a husband (Patrick O'Neal), but by pouting continually...
Nonetheless, as Garrison quite properly points out, until the trial takes place the only one who knows the strength of his case is Jim Garrison himself. His friends in New Orleans like to remember that he has won many a tough one before. He cleaned out the well-entrenched B-girls on Bourbon Street and also took on eight local judges, winning the right to criticize them in the U.S. Supreme Court. On the other side, local enemies, of whom he has his share, recall that he was discharged from the Army for mental reasons and that...
