Even before Barnes became drama critic, his appetite for theatrical performances was notorious. "If you dimmed the lights in a car," says a fellow critic, "Clive would have tried to review it." Two years ago, after Howard Taubman succeeded Brooks Atkinson and Stanley Kauffmann succeeded Taubman, the New York Times turned to Clive Barnes. His first reviews ran on heedlessly, as Barnes reviewed the theater, the audience, the seats. But by the following season he was as relaxed as an actor in the second year of a hit comedy, still babbling, but in the manner of a relaxed and witty...

Against Army, he won his event to keep Crimson hopes alive, and against Princeton his surprising second foiled a Tiger attempt to take the lead. In both meets he swam over his head to keep the team's chances alive...
...worshipful new study of his movies (Godard; Seeker & Warburg), the director is "one of the most important artists of our time," worthy of comparison, with Joyce and Vermeer. Pauline Kael of The New Yorker calls Godard "the most exciting director working in movies today." On the other hand, Stanley Kauffmann of the New Republic describes him as "a magician who makes elaborate uninspired gestures and then pulls out of the hat precisely nothing...
