...Italian film called The Protagonists, in which Pamela plays a secretary who goes to Sardinia for a weekend with friends. While there, the travelers decide to seek out a real bandit in his cave. To evade police, the frolicsome group dresses up like hunters-which explains Pamela's hip-hugging checked suit, her cartridge belt, and even the dead game look on her face...
Barred from that fusion of minds, he went on, people retreat wholly into themselves or into a makeshift substitute like the frenetic sensuality of the plastic hippie or the cool of the hip intellectual. The hippie's stripped-down jargon--"I dig her;" "it's a groove;" "I' up tight"--thwarts emotional expression by stylizing it, he said. "Did you ever try ending a relationship by saying 'I've got to split the scene'?" The mocking wit of the hip intellectual may be worse, he said, for it skirts around honest feelings without admitting their existence. "You find it impossible...
Ferocious Lion. Another ton or two is accounted for by Bodies Beautiful Gloria Roeder and Ed Allen, who work in much the same manner as LaLanne. Gloria, 43, fights "saddlebag thighs" and "dowager's hump" with such exercises as Double Hip Spanks, Thigh Thumps, Chin-to-Knee Bounces and the Pectoral Fling.

The President wants to avoid at all events any clash that might debilitate the nation's military strength and imperil his own political stance as a man of restraint. Yet as his critics are bound to point out, the all-encompassing eye that Johnson trains on domestic affairs should have been applied as closely to military and intelligence procedures before the Pueblo embarrassment...
...Resnik returned to what is by all odds the finest of her 77 roles, stepping into the title part of the Metropolitan Opera's new production of Carmen. Her Carmen is far from the flippant vixen so often projected by younger singers. "Carmen," she says, "is not a hip-swinging, tawdry, gutsy tart. I'll be damned if I'll prance around in the role." Instead, using dozens of shrewdly modulated gestures and inflections-a taunting yet soulful stare, a rippling laugh, an unexpectedly quiet and silken musical phrase-she builds a commanding portrait of a creature...
