...Dirksen, the Senate Republican leader, acknowledges: "There's no use higgling about it. Nothing has been going on." With the session well into its sixth month and the government's new fiscal year beginning July 1, the Senate's principal accomplishment has been to approve the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty-a piece of business left over from last year.

...green and peasant land. Its luminaries, Che Guevara (Omar Sharif) and Fidel Castro (Jack Palance) are Batman and Robin in fatigues. Che formulates the plans with a marvelously worldly wisdom, Fidel dimly grins; all that is missing is a light bulb over his head. When Guevara decides to aim nuclear missiles at the U.S., Castro's concern belongs in a balloon: "Do you think the Soviets would go for it?"
