...approach of the June 30 fil- ing deadline for presidential candidates in South Viet Nam, the rivalry be tween Chief of State Nguyen Van Thieu and Premier Nguyen Cao Ky intensified. U.S. diplomats alerted Washington that trouble was imminent. Rumors of coup and counter-coup coursed through Saigon: Vietnamese marines loyal to Ky were said to be headed for the capital; 20 truckloads of pro-Thieu troops were reported en route to the city. Though the rumors proved false, the nation had good reason to be upset. A break between Ky and Thieu could have split the armed forces into...
...been anxious to go to war but gave the Israelis a respectable fight, demanded that Israel be condemned and that it give up "the fruits of aggression" before any peace talks could be considered. Unlike the intransigent Syrians and Egyptians, Hussein did not accuse the U.S. of tak ing part in the scrap. Instead of looking for scapegoats, he admitted that the Arabs had lost all by themselves.

Moynihan simply briefed the Kodak men and talked helpfully ing; and she doesn't seem to understand what she is mouthing much of the time. Dorothy Tristan's Helena shows a wider vocal range and considerable skill as a farceuse.

...from the same fault: they start promisingly but run down, like jokes with weak punch lines. Part of the fault is MacLaine's. Despite heavy help from the makeup and wardrobe departments, she seldom departs from her customary screen self, and all seven women suffer from an unflatter ing family resemblance. Most of the blame, however, must fall on De Sica, who has wasted such talented actors as Arkin, Sellers, Michael Caine, Philippe Noiret and Vittorio Gassman in a ponderously directed, flaccid work. Better than anyone else, he should know that a tour de farce is like a striptease...
