...speech touched off instant debate. Some thought it was Muskie's finest hour of the 1972 campaign, producing the combative eloquence that his efforts have badly needed. Others argued that it was naive and possibly fatal to lump all Wallace's voters under a racist rubric. Primary votes are often protest votes, and there may be millions of Americans, including a good many Floridians, who share none of Wallace's residual racism but do keenly feel the sense of alienation from the system that his little-man populism plays to.

...common forms of malignancy, breast cancer is one of the most frightening. It is now killing 32,000 American women a year, and by the time a woman or her doctor is able to notice a lump under the skin, the disease has often spread to other parts of the body.

In the case of Time, because the popular press is always in need of some new villain to destroy, some new hero to create, something to put on the cover. Unfortunately, Beyond...
Bedknobs and Broomsticks is a present for the holiday season from the Disney studios. It's like getting a lump of coal in your Christmas stocking. Made in blatant imitation of Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks concerns the singularly unengaging adventures of an amateur witch named Eglantine Price (Angela Lansbury) and her three cockney charges (Roy Snart, Ian Weighill and Cindy O'Callaghan) during the early days of England's involvement in the second World War. It must be the first movie in history to combine Nazis and singing fish...
