...Brewers, the Sox look pretty lackluster. Sure they have Yaz, but with chest pains and all, land coming off his worst season eve. All right, they have Tommy Harper, Reggie Smith, Rico Petrocelli, and a couple of decent pitchers in roger Moret, Marty Pattin, Sonny Siebert, and Ray Culp (gasp). But where will that get them?

Much of the excitement about the Vietnam involvement is a kind of local event in terms of history. It's certainly a symptom of certain things. It's a symptom of certain things.

The success and controversy of El Topo, The Devils, and Straw Dogs in the last six months are witnesses to the arrival of brutality at center stage--fresh copy for the press, love object for the cultists, and general bugaboo for the hysterically-minded...
...audience takes it all seriously. The children in the theatre gasp when a cat appears amidst a group of mice, but here cat and mouse end up chatting over tea instead of bopping each other in the best of the Mighty Mouse tradition. And I think many kids are puzzled when there is not a battle...
