...forgot to mention that Spain under Franco has the lowest rate in juvenile delinquency in Europe, the lowest rate in murder, assault, suicide, divorce, and no pornographic magazines. You also forgot to mention that we are sending billions of dollars and thousands of young Americans to South Viet Nam to hold back Communism in Asia, but it was these hard-headed Spaniards under Franco who crushed Communism in Spain during 1936-39, at no cost to America. You finally forgot to mention that Spain under Franco has never given America a headache, big or small. You ask: After Franco, what...
...Peace Corps is experiencing growing pains. It suffers from sibling rivalry with VISTA, the domestic poverty corps directed by Shriver. Despite intensive recruiting on 1,500 U.S. campuses, an advertising campaign mounted at cost (and sometimes too cutely) by a major agency, a whopping 42,068 applicants-not to mention the added inducement of a two-year deferment for draft-age men-the Corps in 1965 fell nearly 1,000 short of its 9,500-volunteer goal.

The guidelines had hardly anything to do with his successful though costly battle to make U.S. Steel roll back an announced $6-per-ton across-the-board price hike in 1962. On that memorable occasion, Kennedy simply felt that he had been double-crossed by U.S. Steel Chairman Roger Blough, and he lost his Irish temper...
...lines are spoken almost as if they were still within the white balloons. Impossible speeches like Robin's "Holy ashtray!!!" and his mentor's "You've done it again, chum," should not come off, but undeniably, they do. Credit must be given to West and Ward, but some mention should be made of the superb direction. Someone must have read a lot of comic books...
