...after he had undergone a vasectomy, and "sterilized" Indian peasants have beaten their pregnant wives or abandoned them in the uninformed belief that they must have committed adultery. Vasectomies are also not necessarily permanent; if the original ligature is not too close to the testes, a skilled surgeon can perform a successful reunion in about seven out of ten cases...
...bigtime football standards, the whole operation seems as pleasantly relaxed as a backyard barbecue. The players are almost all home-state boys. They perform in a modest stadium before informal crowds that are packed with friends and relatives. The games draw less national publicity than the price of cotton raised on nearby farms.

Guinevere and Arthur (Richard Burton) perform "What Do Simple Folk Do?", a cleverly conceived lament for the pleasures of the common people, with an expert comic touch...
