...Supreme Court, it was clear that another branch of government can define a historic period just as sharply-if not more so. For the past 15 years, the extraordinary "Warren court," spanning all but a few months of the terms of three Presidents, has had no less an impact on American life than the Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson administrations combined...
...Bite. Most taxpayers will begin to feel the measure's impact by mid-July. Because the increase for individuals is retroactive only to April 1, the increased bite for 1968 will really amount to 7½% (example: the $10,000-a-year man with wife and two children who paid $1,100 in taxes last year will pay an added $83.25 in 1968).

"I'm full of ideas," Godard concludes, "but ideas aren't much...
...Mattie Ross a triumphant character, with true grit and sand, an original piece of Americana-sort of a Portrait of Whistler's Mother as a Young Girl in Indian Territory. And he has most vividly produced a true mock western: one in which blood flows with the same impact as real tomato soup suddenly gushing out of an Andy Warhol...
