With his quick mind (he quotes easily from Dostoevsky, Oscar Lewis and The American Scholar, as well as from the police manual), Durk rated first in his detective squad and rose uncommonly fast in the department. Last month he added another accolade to his police record when he received the Judge Jerome Frank Award for policemen who demonstrate "particularly commendable respect for the civil rights of individual citizens...

...director has come to the silver screen, which he bloodies considerably, from television commercials. He claims he likes to do commercials because everything happens quickly and providing him with a good chance for split images, slow-motion, and whatever else comes from the manual. The film is not completely vapid. The bust at the end is in part a frightening, sickening exercise in Hollywood gore, but is enacted in the most immediate terms possible. There is little dialogue here, the camera keeps to itself, and the sheer terror of cops battling students inevitably leaves the audience shaken, even if they...

The spirits that mediums raise always inconveniently refuse to answer the very questions that would prove their existence. So far, Rosemary's musical familiars have been no exception. When TIME posed a choice of 20 musical mysteries for solution, Rosemary replied...

...face. He begs Doc Daneeka (Jack Gilford) to ground him as being insane with fear. But the flight surgeon dutifully recites the Air Force manual's imaginary Catch No. 22: Naturally, anyone who wants to get out of combat isn't really crazy. So supernaturally, anyone who says he is too crazy to keep flying is too sane to stop. On such circular reasoning rests the plot, the dialogue, and indeed the film's essence...
