...race can drastically alter its complexion, especially with reference to pace. Professional horsemen know that two front-running horses tend to tire each other. Thus, a strong come-from behind horse entered against two front-runners becomes a bad investment when one of those front-runners is scratched. A lone front-runner entered against off-the-pace horses can control a slow early pace and have plenty of gas left for the stretch drive...
...famous of these is Robert Warshaw's essay "The Western" included in Dan Talbot's Film: An Anthology). Their reliance either on not calling a film a western merely because it does not fit a presupposition or on setting up as many as ten distinct types of westerns (the lone man western, the calvary western, the adult neurotic western, etc.) should be evidence in itself of the dubious quality of this theory. However, what concerns me more at this moment is the effect this idea has on filmmakers themselves. It seems to be often reflected...
Given the framework of international intrigue, Director J. Lee Thompson could have provided a brisk Bondist thriller.

The vacancies have been filled by Soviet-lining conservatives, including Vasil Bilák and Alois Indra, who won infamy last August as two members of the lone trio of Czechoslovaks who initially cooperated with the Russian invaders. The purges continue throughout the country, and more than 2,000 "control and revision" committees have been set up to oversee the ouster of lesser party officials and state bureaucrats whose liberal tendencies conflict with the policies of the new regime...
Israel was the victim of the week's most spectacular raid, a strike at its oil installations at Haifa, the country's chief seaport. In the early morning, a lone Palestinian fedayeen crept up to a complex of eight pipelines carrying oil from the Haifa refinery to dockside and placed three pounds of explosives under a manifold. The resulting blast knocked three of the pipelines temporarily out of commission and started a fire that destroyed 1,500 tons of refined oil. It was the most spectacular act of Arab sabotage since the June...
