...fine string quartet. As the wife and mother, Constance Cummings drifts into her morphine reverie like a child dozing off to a bedtime story. Her girlish monologue on how she once yearned to become a nun is such a palpable image of the unburied past that it seems to hover on the stage after she leaves it. The role has never been played more affectingly. As the older brother, Denis Quilley is a sportive charmer with an agile, mocking humor, a man of many-hued gifts, all blurred by drink. Broodingly, brilliantly, Ronald Pickup kindles a raging purpose...
...almost anywhere in a stretch of road two kilometers long. In theory, the landing zone for each mission should be selected so as to allow the wounded to be on hand near by. But that never happens. Instead, the Vietnamese choppers come streaking in low along the highway, and hover two or three feet above the ground while any soldiers aboard jump off; only the less seriously wounded have a chance to jump on. Time after time, litter patients who have waited for hours in a sun of close to 100° are hoisted to the shoulders of their buddies...

Waiting on the corner for the morning bus is at best a frustrating experience in any city. In Regina, Saskatchewan (pop. 143,000), where temperatures often hover at 20° below zero, it can be downright hazardous. For some residents of Regina's south side, however, bus waiting is no longer a problem. A simple phone call will bring a city bus right to their front door...
