Javits' knowledgeable, purposive mien wins him the respect of many who abhor his philosophy?and generous support from those who share it. To raise funds for his 1962 campaign, 20 luncheons were held at New York's 21 Club, each for 24 persons. If the tab was high, the take was higher: $250,000 from the 480 guests. His financial backers are a wildly diverse group?thanks in part to Marion's standing in artistic-intellectual-entertainment circles.

Onassis holds both Greek and Argentine citizenship (which he picked up while living in Argentina in the '20s), so he deftly transferred a majority...
...simple story simply told, Miguel sometimes goes naive. The performances are a good cut below professional even in several major roles, and almost no tension develops between the film's human characters, who seem uniformly kind, generous, hard-working and whole. Nonetheless, the movie catches the semidocumentary flavor of Joseph Krumgold's novel, and succeeds as a feeling and poetic exploration of the mysteries that bind man to nature and boys...
