...continued to look for ways to retain his office. On the Tuesday of the week of the Democratic convention, Johnson sent Connally to see Hubert Humphrey. Connally warned the Vice President not to break with Johnson over the Viet Nam War, or he would begin a draft-Johnson movement at the following day's roll call...
Ever since its first meeting, attended by Tito, Indonesia's Sukarno, Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser and India's Jawaharlal Nehru, at Belgrade in 1961, the so-called nonaligned movement has usually espoused a form of neutrality with a distinctly leftist flavor. The rhetoric has sputtered with buzz words like "anticolonialist" and "progressive." But official pronouncements increasingly have also been careful to try to keep both superpowers at haughty arm's length with even-handed warnings against Soviet "manipulation" as well as U.S. "imperialism...
...past few months, though, Cuba has been campaigning aggressively both to seize the leadership of the movement and to steer its political direction squarely into the orbit of its principal ally, the Soviet Union.

Gurdjieff (1877-1949), the philosopher whose Zen-like quest for spiritual truth has greatly influenced the modern human-potential movement. Though The Ten Commandments and Remarkable Men are theologically antithetical, they are cinematic first cousins. Both films suffer from an excess of piety, a shortage of humor and an infatuation with desert vistas. Still, DeMille's muscular, campy Moses (Charlton Heston) is a hell of a lot more fun than Brook...
