...Vietnamese units once again attacked South Vietnamese positions across the My Chanh River on both sides of Highway 1. One morning before dawn, their tanks quickly encircled the South Vietnamese Third Marine Battalion, running around their positions, as one U.S. adviser put it, "like Sitting Bull at Little Big Horn." The South Vietnamese cheered and yelled when U.S. Army
...Because a tough press code inhibits critics of the Papadopoulos regime, most newspapers in Greece now imply criticism only by withholding praise. Such discretion never appealed to Yiannis Horn, editor-publisher-owner of the English-language Athens News (circ. 6,000). He not only prints statements by opposition politicians but also punctuates stories with blunt editor's notes ("We demand an explanation from the regime on this").

...wedding. And what a Jewish wedding it was. A trumpet blast, and the 55 guests climbed to their seats on a hillside overlooking San Francisco Bay near the home of Bride Daria Halprim, who starred in Zabriskie Point.

...lovers are Charles and Helene (Perkins and Marlene Jobert), the adopted children of a dotty millionaire tyrant named Theo Van Horn (Welles). Papa has used his fortune to re-create meticulously the year 1925. "It was an exciting time to be alive," he explains over his nightly gourmet repast, glaring balefully around the table at anyone who might offer a contradiction. Charles has to romp about the estate in knickers, but takes some solace in sculpting huge, brooding Olympian figures. Helene is something of a stiff, a quality convincingly conveyed by Miss Jobert, who shuffles through the film...
