...cinematic merits, it seems unlikely to win even passing mention at any of the international film festivals. But in the New Senate Office Building last week, "0-7" was boffo. The movie, as billed by an aide to Senator Strom Thurmond, is "a vulgar, filthy, subjective thing of a woman disrobing down to her transparent panties...
...game, practically any game, and Americans have clasped it to their chests. The world's most sports-mad people have learned bowling from the Dutch, hockey from the Canadians, curling from the Scots, skiing from the Scandinavians, and just about everything else that anyone plays anywhere.

He sketches incessantly, in the subway and even on the airplane -as he did last month when he popped across the Atlantic to pick up an honorary degree from Harvard. Much of his inspiration comes from music. "Right now I'm in a Bach mood," he reports. "Tomorrow it could be Stockhausen. I'm very fond of the Beatles, too." Then, after the first spontaneous burst of creation, come the months-and sometimes years-of revision. "A line," says Miró, "has to breathe...
