Greatest Since Creation. It is only an accident of history that Richard Nixon occupied the White House when the U.S. first landed men on the moon, but the coincidence seems apt. No less than Neil Armstrong, he is the smalltown boy who rose to fame, the upright citizen, the doer somehow left a bit unsophisticated despite his success and prominence. Nixon could scarcely contain his exuberance as he waited on the flag bridge of the carrier Hornet for the Pacific splashdown. Waving his arms, he exclaimed: "Oh, boy! Oh, boy!" As the Apollo command module bobbed in the sea, Nixon...
...technology and society, believes that an important preface to that goal is already under way. "Our society," he argues, "is coming to a deliberate decision to understand and control technology to good social purpose." Perhaps, but major obstacles clearly remain.

Madame Carmirelli constantly shifted from pianist to forte and from slow to fast. It is true Bach wrote the sonatas as little "soul-states" as Schweitzer says, but he writes with polyphone rather than her extremes...
...with sound recorder and camera. The film opens with Brennan and his three selling teammates in Chicago, and the rest of the film takes place in Florida, where Brennan and his buddies are opening new territory. Under direct hortatory pressure from is sales manager and psychological pressure form his less than sympathetic competitors, the elderly Brennan finds himself unable from his increasingly pathetic reactions to seemingly ordained failure. At the film's end he is packing his bags and contemplating an unknown, precarious future...
