...source of all this friendliness was the encounter sessions. Everybody attended three a day. They sat in a circle for hours scrutinizing each other. They asked mean, menacing questions like, "Why are you being such a phony, Janet?" They aired sentiments like, "Ann, I love you no matter how s-y you are." They cried and constantly embraced one another for saying something that was especially hard to say. The faculty members had to participate in the same way-be completely frank about how they saw themselves in life, about their personal backgrounds, divorces and problems with their wives...
...Here Comes the Sun), it opens in Because with a childlike vista of the world, intoned by the group in their best breathy choirboy manner, and filled with an image of wind and blue sky that "makes me cry." Then come first ineffectual gropings of love followed by loneliness and frustration (You Never Give Me Your Money). In The End, a final note of acceptance of life's burdens is sealed with an affirmation: "The love you take is equal to the love you make."

It is a speaking head, al though silent. And optimistic, too, against all odds. From that shadowed throat and those strong liana jaws, it speaks of life to men with a torn hope...
...Rome with Love (CBS) is the same sort of savorless trifle, with John Forsythe back to the laugh-packed responsibilities of bachelor fatherhood. In this, his third series, he plays a widowed history professor from Iowa who relocates with his three daughters in sunny, funny Italy. Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (ABC) exploits both the classic 1936 film comedy of the same name and the stupefying breakthrough in transcultural humor of The Beverly Hillbillies. Deeds is a bumpkin newspaper editor who unexpectedly inherits the financial empire of a robber-baron uncle and moves to Manhattan to redress family wrongs...
