James Reed Ellis, 47, looks like a university professor: compact, neat, with greying hair and blue eyes behind horn rimmed glasses. Ellis is, in fact, a corporate lawyer in the firm of Preston, Thorgrimson, Horowitz, Starin &; Ellis. He is also that rarest of citizens, a practical leader...
...FIREMEN'S BALL. Under the direction of Milos Forman (Loves of a Blonde), a group of firemen stage a party in honor of their retiring chief, and act out a neat parody of Communist bureaucracy...
These jigsaw pieces do not fit together into a neat picture. Dr. Robert H. Furman of the University of Oklahoma says that the dietary habits of men who have died of heart attacks, as compared with the diets of survivors of the same age, living on the same street, doing the same work, smoking as much and exercising as little, show no consistent difference.

...gimmicks (stop motion shots, wide angle distortion) into a well-conceived unity. A close moving shot along the floor after the corpses are removed reveals some loose change which fell out of the mother's house coat as she died--truly a good touch, as is Bobby's compulsive neatness: a bit of calculated direction about which I would be more sanguine were Bogdanovich's own camera style less neat and precise.

In fact, the term suburbia has become too broad; it covers Levittown as well as Greenwich, and some of the wealthiest communities have slummy enclaves next to the commuter-train tracks. According to 1960 figures, Pittsburgh's suburbs had more substandard dwellings than the central city, and poor families...
