...part, Hubert Humphrey retired to his home in Waverly, Minn., to "put in fence posts and mow the lawn," and also to reassess the new political horizon. That reappraisal, if some of Robert Kennedy's top aides have their way, will force Humphrey closer to the late Senator's position on Viet Nam, and may even persuade the Vice President that he should ballast his ticket with Ted Kennedy. In fact, the surviving brother is known to be high on Humphrey's list of running mates, along with Senators Fred Harris of Oklahoma and Edmund Muskie...
NARROW is the horizon in Ward 6, Surgical. It is a drab room, twice as long as it is wide, divided down the center by a low partition. Two rows of steel beds run like exposed ribs down each side. At one end is the businesslike nurses' station, a bookcase with a collection of old magazines and paperbacks, a too-loud TV set. There are no flowers, no pictures, no decorations.

...single engagement, Director Sergei Bondarchuk could deploy 120,000 troops-supplied by the Soviet government, which has a stake in the film as message as well as art. And Bondarchuk makes the most of his forces. Cavalries plunge and break in tidal waves; columns of infantry writhe to the horizon and beyond; choruses of cannons shout like narrow mouths of hell in a series of vivid instants that recall the trancelike battle paintings of Uccello. With a knowing artist's eye, the director composes vignettes reminiscent of the harshness and heartbreak of Goya etchings. Again and again, the dolor...
