...Reflections in a Golden Eye apparently results from its attempt to include the substance of the Carson McCullers novel on which it is based. The movie skips from point to point, initially dwelling on the female lead's (Elizabeth Taylor) affair with her husband's immediate superior at a Georgia army base. It swoops in on an enlisted man's strange infatuation with Miss Taylor, swipes briefly at the mental illness of the superior officer's wife, and finally lands on the theme it ends with, the even stranger, growing infatuation of Miss Taylor's husband (Marlon Brando) with...
Mighty Notre Dame, No. 1 in 1966, was tapped to be champion again, followed by Alabama (No. 3 last year), Michigan State (No. 2), Texas, Miami, Georgia, U.S.C., U.C.L.A., Tennessee and Colorado. Yet as of the first week in October, the top five favorites had won only seven of 15 games after one of the most disastrous early seasons in anybody's history...
...bottoms up in the experts' polls last week, with four-time winner U.S.C. ranked No. 1, closely followed by Purdue, which dumped its first three opponents in splendid spoilermaker form. Then came Georgia, a three-time victor, and U.C.L.A., winner of four straight. Michigan State, Texas, Miami and Tennessee were nowhere to be found in the top ten.

But it's a long season, and as the Fighting Irish's Coach Ara Parseghian says: "Nobody wants to be No. 1 in September...
Even when it decides not to decide, the Supreme Court decides a great deal. So it was last week when the court chose not to review a desegregation decision appealed by Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas; the effect will be that all six states must comply with a federal court of appeals order directing an immediate speedup in the integration of all public schools. The court also refused to interfere with Pennsylvania's practice of transporting students to parochial schools, thus leaving for another day further practical definition of the line between church and state. Jimmy Hoffa...
...invoking the help of what at least one refers to as "the Great Legislator of the Universe." From there, they wander. A wordy example is Louisiana's 1,000-page backbreaker, which gets into such minute areas as declaring Huey Long's birthday forever a legal holiday. Georgia's offers $250,000 to the state's first discoverer of oil. California's exempts from taxation certain "fruit- and nutbearing trees under the age of four years." Such details belong in the statutory code, not the constitution...
