...things have changed," says Flanker Pete Gent of the Dallas Cowboys. "When I joined this club two years ago, nobody did anything but jeer at us. If there was a crowd waiting at the airport when we returned from a game, we figured they had ropes." To day, a huge electric sign in downtown Dallas proclaims, HOME OF THE COW BOYS - WORLD'S FASTEST TEAM, and in the Cotton Bowl last week 80,000 fans turned out to watch their heroes beat the Cleveland Browns 26-14 for their eighth victory of the season (against two losses...
...Such a jeer at the Soviet press is common enough in the West; this time the quip appeared in Soviet Press, a monthly magazine that is circulated largely among Russian newsmen. The criticism had an added impact because the speaker was Ilya Ehrenburg, 75, one of Russia's best-known journalists. Ehrenburg admitted to his interviewer that while he spends more than half an hour a day reading the French newspaper Le Monde, he seldom devotes as much time to any Soviet paper.

For eleven nights, his youthful band marched in front of Judge Cannon's large brick colonial house, and for eleven nights crowds of whites gathered to jeer.

The Bondsmen seem far too giddy a crew to inflict any permanent injury on young or old, male or female. As art, the spy spoofs have little value, and they lack even true satirical purpose, or what Critic G. K. Chesterton in A Defence of Nonsense called "a kind of exuberant capering...
...supposed to be preaching against. Taking a Horton Foote novel adapted by Playwright Lillian Hellman, Producer Sam Spiegel (Lawrence of Arabia) hired Director Arthur Penn (The Miracle Worker) to whip up a scathing, lopsided indictment of a small town somewhere in Texas. With Star Marlon Brando as chief jeer-leader, the movie smugly points an accusing finger at all the wrong, wrong deeds done by precisely the right people...
