...account for the anticlimax, where sequences build to such banal exchanges as: (Bardot) "If my father saw me in clothes like these!" (Moreau) "Hurry up! We're going to the dance!" Then the beginnings of an exit, such as you get on high-school stages when there's no room in the wings. It's clumsy, and unlike Malle.

The school has an enthusiastic new president in former University of Delaware Arts and Science Dean Bruce Dearing "It's exciting to be somewhere that's growing rather than just tend the shop where someone else had all the fun,' he says...
...Among those prominently present: Aleida Guevara, wife-or possibly widow-of erstwhile Castro No. 2 man Che Guevara, who disappeared, leaving his family "in the care of the state." † Including an attempt last week by a 16-year-old Texas high-school student named Thomas Robinson to hijack a National Airlines DC-8 jetliner bound from New Orleans to Melbourne, Fla., with 84 passengers, including Christopher Kraft, flight director for NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center near Houston. Muttering that he wanted to go to Cuba to protest Castro's political prisoners, Robinson pulled two pistols, fired several...
