...only as a substitute for goldfish swallowing or a panty raid." Katzenbach cautioned against forming rigid convictions on insufficient evidence, and recalled Oliver Cromwell's words to the Church of Scotland: "My brethren, I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible that you may be mistaken." Presidential Adviser McGeorge Bundy sounded less patient when he remarked at Notre Dame that "often the least learned make the most noise...

Young Albert is made a paper-thin storybook hero while Perkins, with no Hitchcock to guide him, mopes through his small starring role with an air of boyish menace that might easily be mistaken for sulking. Both actors seem to have been set adrift in a poetic but implausible neverland where Tom Sawyer tangles tales with Psycho...
