...pictures portraying Charlie as the still life of the party. Made on B-picture budgets, the Chan films show their age with simple-minded mysteries solvable in the second reel by any post-Bond youngster of eight. They also rely heavily on antique comic relief as subtle as a pig bladder. Charlie's No. 1 and No. 2 sons incessantly glue up the clues, and a procession of Negro buffoons (Mantan Moreland, Stepin Fetchit, Willie Best) pop their eyes at every corpse. But bad as the films were, they were also an undergraduate school through which passed some able...

Arrested himself during the opening hours of the Pentagon siege, Mailer winds up in the same paddy wagon with a tall, ferocious American Nazi, and stares him down in the inevitable Mailerian confrontation of wills.

The vast majority of Harvard students accept returning Vietvets with much interest and understanding...

When Jim Sloan, 23, returned to Harvard after service as an Army sergeant in Viet Nam, he was laughingly labeled "the resident fascist pig of Adams House." Richard Parish, 22, was an Air Cav rifleman when a chunk of Communist shrapnel ripped his right shoulder to the joint; back in Michigan as a civilian, the Negro high school graduate was unable to pass physical examinations at either Cadillac Motors or Detroit Edison, and reluctantly began drawing disability pay. First Lieut. Leo Glover, 26, won a Silver Star and a Purple Heart near the DMZ as a Marine air controller, then...

...week's end Humphrey motorcades had accounted for two dogs and a pig. Termites fell into the wine during a Congolese banquet, and his entourage brushed their teeth with beer rather than risk the water. Humphrey handed out tickets to the U.S. Senate gallery to Liberian youngsters and implied in Kinshasa that he would seek a second vice-presidential term, promising Congolese President Joseph D. Mobutu to wear a leopard-skin cap on the campaign trail...
