...NEVER SANG FOR MY FATHER, by Robert Anderson, wears its heart on its sleeve but has small muscle in its script. It sentimentally examines the plight of a son who wants to heal the wound of lovelessness festering between himself and his aging tyrant of a father, magnificently played by Alan Webb. A sense of mortality, filial duty and remorse, family ties that chafe as well as bind, all give the play scenes of poignance but, despite the impeccable direction of Alan Schneider, never a coherent dramatic vision...
...cool effort to mask one of the most trying weeks of a crisis-ridden presidency. Amid all the tumult around him, Johnson still found time to chat amiably with West Berlin Mayor Klaus Schütze, make yet another plea for a 10% income tax surcharge, and present the Heart of the Year Award to Actress Patricia Neal, who suffered three near-fatal strokes three years...
James Edward Johnson, 23, a Marine veteran of Viet Nam, went home to West Virginia 17 months ago with a Purple Heart and a dream: he wanted to become a state trooper. But Johnson had two problems.

Thanh's death left Giap unchallenged, and he has spent a large part of the past six months planning the New Year's offensive that began last week...
John Wesley Harding is a satisfying album--mainly for Dylan's sake, because many of the songs are implicitly personal renunciations of the "narcotic of a subtle skepticism" that Pope Paul advised against in his Christmas plea for "Peace of Heart" in all men. Perhaps Dylan has found "Peace of Heart." And his record gives some hope to its listeners, a little strength of mind to face a grisly political milieu that threatens to overwhelm us. Cold comfort...
