...past 3½ years, no fewer than 20 actresses with established reputations have appeared in various stages of undrape in various men's magazines, most notably Playboy. Among them: Carroll Baker, Jane Fonda, Carol Lynley, Elsa Martinelli, Shirley MacLaine, Kim Novak, Hike Sommer, Susan Strasberg, Liz Taylor and Susannah York. Some were in coy poses, some in semi-erotic, some had a phony "naughty-naughty" look in their eyes. The current Playboy shucks all that in favor of an actress whose view of nudity is that if it's classic, it's beautiful, even in Kodachrome...
...Flanders has the high spirits and Hogarthian texture of its ribald predecessor, but lacks Tony Richardson's slashing satire and bold cinematic style. Nonetheless, Director Terence Young (Dr. No, From Russia with Love) proves that the beast in men brings out the best in him-and in Kim Novak as Moll. Her performance as an easy-to-bed beauty for whom the flower of virtue lies ever beyond a thicket of thorny vices is not so much well played as well endowed, but it does reveal untapped energy in one of Hollywood's most marketable natural resources...
...reporters, to be sure, were happy with the rebels. Warned the Herald Tribune's Rowland Evans and Robert Novak: "Adventurers are running the rebel command, but they maintain only tenuous control over all their forces.

And after spending a week in Santo Domingo, Newsday's Marguerite Higgins filed another minority report: "Be wary of all those claims of widespread support for the rebel Constitutionalists or the loyalist junta. This reporter has been impressed by the hazards...
...services of Novak's book is its recollection of what seems scarcely credible today, the rapport that existed between Rockefeller and Goldwater before May, 1963. Rockefeller had been active and not unsuccessful in wooing conservatives by stressing areas of Republican agreement. That meant, of course, using the standard Republican lines about the menace of communism, the menace of budget deficits, and so forth. Rockefeller as well as Goldwater helped confirm bedrock Republican's picture of a world gone wrong, of national leaders departing from the Americanism that made our country free and strong...
...pleading for votes on the rather barren grounds that a second party must be kept in the running. Patent political grows out of grave weaknesses in the character of the Republican Party, weaknesses which resulted in the Goldwater nomination. Rovere with his careful analysis of Goldwater and Goldwaterism, and Novak with his step-by-step account of the Goldwater victory in San Francisco, expose these weaknesses and help show what a faltering and confused animal the Republican elephant has become
