Many laymen, baffled by the scientists anyway, might find the overthrow of all their lore quite entertaining. But most scientists insist that their laws are universal; even the motion of distant stars and the nuclear reactions within them appear to obey the laws of terrestrial science...
After two or three meetings with Kiesinger, Schroder continued to insist that the cutback would mean a drop in army strength. His goading finally led Kiesinger to announce that he would make no decision on any changes in German armed strength before consulting President Johnson, whom he will visit in Washington beginning Aug. 15.

...Everything will coom raght," both sides insist, but as the parents exchange confidences, it becomes obvious that Oedipus and Electra complexes lurk in corners of both households. At the film's finale, everything does indeed coom raght for the young couple, who go off on their own, though behind them they leave four unhappily married parents, whose permanent frustrations are now a little deeper...
