...film's most striking symbols are the ever-present ships-monsters that plow along polluted waterways and shrink everything to insignificance: men, trees, even a listless orgy in a fisherman's hut.

Since 1962 the Sentinel has belonged to the Journal, which bought it for $3,000,000 from the Hearst newspaper chain.

Neither can doctors, unless they send samples of the baby's blood and urine for timeconsuming, costly lab tests. Then, if the tests show an excess of galactose (milk sugar) in the blood or urine, doctors know what the trouble is and how to remedy...
