...Ears. Pairing Jean-Paul Belmondo and Ursula Andress in a feckless adaptation of Jules Verne's The Tribulations of a Chinese Gentleman, Director Philippe de Broca overbids to repeat the success of his hilarious mock-action thriller, That Man from Rio. The trouble is that Director de Broca's imitation of his own winning formula is not a whit better than anyone else's, and a good deal worse than some...
...upon closer examination, was the SDS test an exam, an anti-exam, or a mock exam? Their one-sided approach to every question eliminates any possibility of calling it an objective test, and identifies it as an honest statement of SDS's position. But since the SDS exam and the draft exam were often taken in rapid succession (the counter-exam during the tedious hour of waiting before the draft test) the link between the two became more obvious.

...master of ceremonies. "No use applauding; you don't know what you're getting," he told an audience at Emerson Hall. "To make sure the evening isn't completely wasted. I'll read a poem by another man first..."He prefaced dream song #29 with a mock-heroic line: "Prepare to weep, ladies and gentlemen. Saul Bellow and I almost kill ourselves laughing about the dream songs and various chapters in his novels, but other people feel bad. Are you all ready to feel bad?" And more sternly," this is not a cultural occasion. No instruction is taking place...
