...seven years American servicemen have been held in the POW camps of North Vietnam. The North has been exposed to merciless and massive U.S. bombing raids. Negotiations with Hanoi have gained nothing. In the course of the war, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians have been killed or wounded. Are we continually to lose more lives, waste more money, and send more U.S. pilots to the prisons of North Vietnam in order to supposedly save the POWs? Senator McGovern put it this way on July 24: "The bombing is how the prisoners got into prison. It's the height...

With Jean Gabin, Eric von Stroheim. Marcel Dalio. SYMPHONY CINEMA ONE. Wednesday and Thursday, 6, 8 and 10 p.m. Midnight Cowboy. John Schlesinger directed this intermittently moving but sometimes crude and gimmicky platonic Love Story between two buddy-buddy freak types on the fringes of Manhattan society. Superlatively acted by Jon Voight as a frustrated...
