...weeks after President Kennedy's assassination, and continued, "Lee Oswald was plainly a man of demonic frustrations and fanaticisms." Most of the U.S. press shared that conclusion, but the major job of reporting then shifted from journalists to the members of the Warren Commission. By the time Mrs. Marina Oswald testified, it had become even clearer that, as TIME said, "there was no dark conspiracy ... no plot." This week the Warren report massively confirmed these views...
Mickey presents Mickey Rooney as an Omaha salesman who inherits a marina in Southern California, and with it a crooked Chinese manager who has a lifetime contract. The situation is un promising and the dialogue ("Only registered guests are permitted to drown in the pool") needs mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but inside Mickey Rooney there is a profound sense of the absurd; and last week in moments of wordless action - resisting seduction by Guest Star Dina Merrill or running through downtown streets wearing only a mink coat - he developed humor in the tradition of comic pathos...
Cleverest noisemakers are the three audio-visual paintings by Marina Stern, including Hay Day, the talking nude. In Judgment Day, she depicts a standing angel trumpeting the word "Repent."

What pop art has done is to release all of us to be playful. Abstract expressionism is so serious. Two years ago I wouldn't have dared to make paintings like these, and no gallery would...
...interview with the Dallas Morning News, Marina insisted last week that Oswald did not hate President Kennedy or Governor John Connally, whom he wounded, but that "he wanted to be a big shot." And, she added with a tone of regret, she would never have married Oswald if they had met in the U.S. instead of the U.S.S.R...
