Poetry & Rhythm. Hollywood was once described as the only asylum run by its inmates. It was the town where, as George Jean Nathan said, "ten million dollars' worth of machinery functions elaborately to put skin on baloney." There is still plenty of machinery out there putting skin on baloney. But the most important fact about the screen in 1967 is that Hollywood has at long last become part of what the French film journal Cahiers du Cinema calls" the furious springtime of world cin ema," and is producing a new kind of movie...
Demand for Demolition. This change in tone has been accompanied by a shift in reviewers. Some of the most perceptive writers - Sociologists Lewis Coser and Nathan Glazer, Economist Oscar Gass - are no longer contributing to the Review.

This kind of conduct is simply unacceptable, not only in a community devoted to intellectual endeavor, but in any decent democratic society...
...everyone whose conviction is thrown out by the Supreme Court has such good fortune. Three years ago, the Supreme Court found that Brooklyn Murderer Nathan Jackson was entitled to consideration of his claim of having been drugged when he confessed. But at a subsequent hearing, Jackson's confession was found to be untainted by drugs after all. He was retried, reconvicted and, because he had killed a policeman, resentenced to death. Last week the New York Court of Appeals upheld his sentence...
