...performance bristled with suspense. First, Louisiana's Democratic Congressman Hale Boggs hustled back to Washington after a conference at the L.B.J. ranch with word that the President might request a tax increase of as much as $15 billion. Lyndon Johnson dismissed the report, sniffing that "guesses will be made from time to time-that is a democratic privilege." Next, Gardner Ackley, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, flew down to Austin with a report as bright as the Texas sun: 1967, he said, should bring a "more balanced, moderate kind of growth," with fewer slowdowns or inflationary pressures...
...steady snow was falling on Lake Huron as the 603-ft. freighter Daniel J. Morrell steamed toward Taconite, Minn., for a load of iron ore, but the night was otherwise tranquil. Watchman Dennis Hale, 26, ended his tour of duty, had a snack in the galley and headed for his bunk. Six hours later, he was awakened by "two loud thumps," followed by the insistent clang of the emergency bell. Clad only in underwear and peacoat (he couldn't find his trousers), Hale sped topside-and gasped at what he saw. Lashed by a sudden, severe Great Lakes storm...
...also an accurate outside shooter, leads all N.B.A. players with a record of 88% at the free-throw line. (Chamberlain, by contrast, has hit on only 38%.)

...York's Fawkesians were sparked by a Queens milkman whose nickname is "Nathan Hale," a Long Island land scape artist, and a 40-year-old Danbury State Teachers College sophomore. All belonged to the Minutemen, a hyper-patriotic organization whose members covertly train themselves in guerrilla warfare against the day when a Communist coup takes over the U.S. Not content to wait for the revolution, the Sunday warriors aimed last week to destroy three rustic, rundown camps that at one time or another had been used for left-wing or pacifist meetings...
...Daniel Taradash and Dalton Trumbo's script manages to establish any characterization at all, it does so by repetition rather than incisive writing. The Reverend Hale, played Swedishly by von Sydow, is so unswervingly dogmatic about his job that he soon exhausts the audience, which watches his predictable life-story with bovine good nature, groaning "Oh no, not again!" at his every line. Julie Andrews stoically survives the pangs of sexual frustration, the pain of childbirth, and the ravages of time, until the make-up department decides she can't take any more, at which point she is allowed...
