...center of the house is the sparsely furnished, 67½-ft.-long great hall, used for formal receptions and large cocktail parties. On its walls hang 16 prize paintings by impressionists and postimpressionists, including a voluptuous Renoir Bather, and a darkly rich, superbly foreshortened Degas Girl on a Cushion. For any other collection, these 16 would be more than enough, but the adjoining dining room is fairly aglow with the Kreegers' most spectacular collection-within-a-collection.

...images of Chicago will haunt the Democrats during the campaign. Even if they can hang together through November (they did, after all, avoid a major walkout of factions, as happened in 1948), large groups within the party remain deeply and ideologically, disaffected.

...frightened outlaw, and Michael O'Sullivan as a hysterical, doomed criminal. But neither the performances nor the gundown-at-sundown story coalesce into more than a sanguinary celebration of vigilante justice. With some evocative photography and a touch of gallows humor, Director Ted Post tries to make Hang 'Em High stylish and spirited enough to swing. It swings all right-like a body at the end of a rope...
