...Jerry Brown has become a statewide pastime. There are those who see Brown as a humorless, intellectual fanatic who first tried submerging himself in the Roman Catholic Church and then, with equally uncritical fervor, opted for the ego and power trip of politics. Others speculate that his drive is pure Freud, the compulsive, humorless, self-righteous attempt of a quiet young man to surpass the booming, back-slapping old pol who happened to be his father. To his family and friends, Brown is simply a shy, intelligent man with "a missionary spirit...

...cast is exemplary. To cite one player would be to slight another. No one in contemporary theater orchestrates mordant laughter with a surer hand than Playwright Peter Nichols. His forked tongue darts at everything, but his compassion is deep and pure...

...hardly a case of plagiarism. Adams liberally sprinkles references to Lockley's book in his bestseller, and his introduction to Private Life's first American edition is pure hero worship.

Eisenstein uses these events in a less than subtle allegory about what would happen in the event of an attack by Hitler on the Soviet Union. Although the characters are pure stereotypes--Nevsky is a traditional military-hero figure and all the Germans are portrayed in a demonic light--one can gauge the depth of fear present in the U.S.S.R. of 1938 by watching Eisenstein flexing Russia's muscles...

THERE WAS SOMETHING about the concert that missed as a whole and whether it was Reed's fault or his band's is pure speculation. The band was a gifted and tempered one and contrasted strongly to the gritty, nerve-grating sound of the Velvets. But in retrospect, that type of coarseness would not make it today, if for no other reason than the size of concert halls. Let's face it--the Velvets were a hard-driving rock and roll band that relied on the intimacy of a club like Max's fully to project their image and encourage...
