Making a three-day sweep from Danang to the Delta, Michigan's Governor George Romney toured Viet Nam last week to learn more about the war, cheer the troops and gain some public exposure that might do him no harm on the home front. He was no stranger to the territory, of course. The last time he ventured into Viet Nam "in South Korea" and later declared that U.S. officials had "brainwashed" him. This time Romney came away convinced that he had "a firm grasp of the situation. I had the background and knowledge to dig in and penetrate...
...small-town America of con-men and disillusioned cops, with much of the action set in greasy spoons, cars, and hotel lobbies. Preminger must feel that his later films are larger; actually they are only longer and better designed: the best passages in The Cardinal deal with abortion, In Harm's Way with seduction and promiscuity, and Bunny Lake Is Missing with moody perversion, all elements with which Preminger has always felt at home.

...average fellow who occasionally complains "I've got gas on my stomach" may indeed be uncomfortable be cause gas is distending some part of his digestive tract. If he chews a few antacid tablets, he most likely will do himself no good, but neither will he do any harm. To guard against recurrences, he should avoid eating pulse vegetables such as navy or lima beans (as every high-altitude flyer and astronaut knows) and roughage foods such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts and celery. These two classes of foods, by different biochemical mechanisms, promote the formation...
