...McCulloch engines, capable of doing 102 m.p.h. Only slightly less potent was U-707, a 17-ft. cat with three 105-h.p. Chryslers, and driven by a trio of leadfoots calculated to inspire respect: Major William Knight, holder of the world air speed record (4,534 m.p.h.), Lee Taylor, holder of the water speed record (285 m.p.h.), and Craig Breedlove, the land speed record holder (600 m.p.h...
...first viewing, these scenes would appear to be photomontages from an underground-film festival. But The Fox, based on a D. H. Lawrence story with a lesbian theme, is soon to be released nationally, starring Sandy Dennis. Point Blank, with Lee Marvin, is in its plot an old-fashioned shoot-em-down but in its technique a catalogue of the latest razzle-dazzle cinematography. Bonnie and Clyde is not only the sleeper of the decade but also, to a growing consensus of audiences and critics, the best movie of the year...
...just enough Yaleness in the Journal to keep it from being simply a magazine published in New Haven, but not so much as to render it dull to outsiders (or even Yalies).

Today's players, he says, are "so well trained they know how to hurt you scientifically." Packer Linebacker Lee Roy Caffey, himself an ankle patient, explains that money adds to their skill. When you put enough cash on the line, says Caffey, "it tends to bring out the best in people." It also brings out the elbows, knees and helmets that can be almost lethal when propelled by the beef...
...Todd Lee's set must have been conceived by a computer. Its pieces fit together perfectly at several different angles, to produce several different, all satisfactory, shipboard abstractions. The rectangular frames successively form bunks, jail cells, and simple platforms. The computer also had a good color sense in plotting an orange-on-black effect that neatly relates one scene to the next. The scene changes are slow, but the masking music makes them happily bearable...
