...Bombers. At the 100,000-acre Tom Talle Ranch near Aroya, tough, greying Manager Elmer Ray rounded up three of the tractors. Then, with six muffled, red-eyed cowhands, he set out across the prairies, clearing a path for the cattle. It was heartbreaking work; they fought drifts by day, worked by lantern light after dark "caking" the tired stock with concentrated protein feed. But in a week they got 2,500 of their 3,600 fine Herefords into railroad cars and on their way to market...
Some 450 alcoholics with colossal hangovers have shuffled a path to the ivied red house on Temple Street which houses Yale's New Haven clinic. By last week, the Yale Plan had started a national movement: at least five states (New Jersey, New Hampshire, Alabama, Oregon, Connecticut) and a dozen cities were studying or organizing similar clinics (Connecticut already had one in operation in Hartford).

U.S. moviegoers, unaccustomed to concentrated mixtures of sex, cynicism and murky symbolism, may enjoy the picture's sharply witty individual scenes and wonder what they all add up to. The overall theme might boil down to this: "Life is a tragicomedy, whether viewed from...
