...while the sound track pours forth an unctuous ballad called Try a Little Tenderness. Cut to Burpelson Air Force Base, where General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) launches the offensive against Russia, then severs communications with SAC. Hayden's playing seems extremely right. His Ripper is impotent, a one-man military complex who means singlehanded to save the world from water fluoridation and other Communist plots "that threaten the purity and essence of our natural fluids."

Unlike The Defenders. In both style and substance, most of the law practiced in the big shops differs radically from the work of attorneys who operate alone or in small firms. A rare star performer, such as Edward Bennett Williams or Melvin Belli, may get rich with an essentially one-man show, but the average income of U.S. lawyers working on their own comes to about $8,000 a year.

And only a few years later, unlike his close friend Jackson Pollock, he withdrew from what artists not so affectionately call "the arena," or marketplace, to a small farm near Baltimore. His living room is floored with linoleum, and an aging DeSoto is parked in front of his garage. Inside is his one known materialist obsession-a lovingly polished vintage Jaguar touring...
