...Chasing Hares. Goldwater questioned statistics on U.S. poverty, declared that income levels considered low in the U.S. "are regarded as true wealth in the rest of the world. Workers in many other countries cannot earn as much as our welfare clients receive. It is like greyhounds chasing a mechanical hare. You never catch up. There will always be a lowest one-third or one-fifth." Instead of being given handouts, said Goldwater, persons on relief should be put to work on community projects...
...Anglo-Saxon often attributes liver ailments to malnutrition, a fate to which the liver is not conspicuously subject in France, where every foodstuff is weighed for its effect on the foie. In the age-old belief that eggs overtax young livers, the average French parent would sooner poach a hare than an egg for the children.

...Tortoise and the Hare," the first story, is not really a fable. Fables are supposed to have morals, but this little flesh flick does not--at least not in the parietal hours sense. It was included in the trio for the sake of the "Coming Attractions," and for those viewers who enjoy watching seminude women. Although the imbecilic plot was meant to be bittersweet, women's leagues will probably call it tasteless, since it has the camera constantly leering at Sylvia Koscina in a blouse slit to the waist...
