VIVA MARIA! Some camera magic by French Cinematographer Henri Decae helps Jeanne Moreau and Brigitte Bardot inflame the peasantry in Louis Malle's higgledy-piggledy farce about a pair of strip queens involved in a Central American revolution...
President Johnson is correct when he says there is "little magic in the number two." But what was a compromise in 1787 has worked effectively in the past and seems well-suited for the complicated problems of governing the United States in the future. A two-year term in the House is more desirable than any of the proposed varieties of a four-year term, and should be retained...

Progress in productivity if of course uneven across the economy, varying considerably from industry to industry. Citing the national average of 3.2% during every dispute is simply not logical; nor is it fair to the workers involved, who may deserve more...
