...talk rarely varies in content, but the format does. Wallace simply chooses from his compendium of evils as they come to mind. "Now I want to say something about Viet Nam," he will say by way of introduction, or "Let's talk about law 'n' order." While the crowd is cheering, he will often spit quickly and inconspicuously into a white handkerchief...
Gentle George McGovern's last minute run for the presidency enhanced his stature in 49 states and hurt it in one -his own. On South Dakota's windswept prairies, the voters like a man who takes their problems to heart, and never mind what ails the big cities or the world at large. Six weeks before the Democratic Convention, McGovern, a onetime college history teacher, en-ioyed a two-to-one lead m a statewide poll. After his abortive bid for national office, his margin dwindled...
...slow; it is torpid-and with the influx of Olympics visitors, it may well come to a halt at times. The trip from downtown hotels to the games used to take 30 minutes; now it takes at least an hour.

There are 900 pretty, miniskirted, multilingual girl aides standing ready to help bewildered tourists and foreign officials. Even Mexican motorists have shifted attitudes. A jaywalker used to be maimed almost inevitably; now he can cross the street...
...none of these would be particularly distressing in the long run, though perhaps momentarily troublesome. In fact, they would actually be welcome because they would lead to a vitally needed reassessment of many problems. For example, just how desirable is it to be financed primarily by federal and federally-minded (foundation) funds? How does an institution maintain its independence in such a situation? Perhaps alternate sources of money should be located. How bad could it be for the government not to be able to make "efficient" policy decisions? Given a Johnson-Humphrey approach to world affairs, the real need...
...Runaways, produced by Sam Katzman, a second-rate Albert Zugsmith whose films are usually acted by racing cars. Inadvertantly, Runaways does more toward creating a semi-mythic subculture than Alice B. Toklas, in its strict adherence to the plot premise: everybody in The Young Runaways has runaways on their mind. It is as if Chicago, the film's location, were a vast playground given over to hide-and-seek...
