...Overboard. Revolutionist Henrique Galváo, 65, who had seized the Santa Maria twelve days before and some 2,800 miles away in the name of the Portuguese Liberation junta, refused to dock at Recife until he was assured of supplies, fuel, and permission to sail off again. U.S. Rear Admiral Allen E. Smith Jr. boarded the Santa Maria to discuss the fate of the 42 U.S. passengers, was met by Galváo wearing a black beret, a khaki uniform with shoulder boards, and an armband in the green and red of Portugal's flag. Swashbuckling Galv...
...roll that he has picked up running a joint in Hawaii. But this time the Pendleton is carrying combat veterans as well as the scraped-barrel group of the outward voyage. When Raditzer is caught cheating in a below-decks poker game, they decide to pitch him overboard. In a scene that is brutal and powerfully true, Charlie Stark as his protector is tried as Raditzer has not tried him before. And from there to the powerful ending, Stark suffers the agonies of a man who has tied himself unwillingly, irrevocably, to a wretched fellow human whose claim is based...

Above all, he keeps his camera trained on Funnyman Lemmon, who saves scene after scene with a pert piece of mugging, and hits the jackpot on any payoff line. Recipe for Hollywood producers : tee-hee is better with Lemmon...
...three parts. Part One describes the 1947 "ingathering of the exiles" in a magnificent anecdote-the fiercely exciting dramatization of an episode in which some 600 Jewish internees escape from a British camp on Cyprus, board a rustbucket called Exodus in the harbor at Famagusta, throw all their food overboard and proclaim to the watching world that they will die of starvation or even blow up the ship unless the British let them sail for the promised land...
...running against wily old Chancellor Adenauer, 84. Brandt showed he was ready to take some lessons from a man almost his own age, Jack Kennedy. If elected, Brandt promised that Germany would move forward to become a "model state" but not "a sleepy welfare state." Brandt has already thrown overboard most of the Marxist trappings of his party. In foreign policy, he said, Germany must stand firmly in the Western camp: "We do not wander between the fronts. We know where we belong." Brandt sat down to great cheers. Postwar Germany, until now dominated by Adenauer, is plainly...
